SubjectRe: 2.6.4-mm2
From
Date
The 2.6.5-rc2-mm5 kernel has vastly improved the 
performance issue with dbt3-pgsql throughput numbers
(bigger is better):

Runid...Metric.PLM..Kernel........diff%
290357 141.84 2788 2.6.5-rc2..... base
290576 91.18 2814 2.6.5-rc2-mm2 -35.72
290856 60.02 2842 2.6.5-rc2-mm4 -57.68
290953 134.10 2849 2.6.5-rc2-mm5 -5.46 <-------

Thanks to Nick and Ingo.
