Hi,
Test 2.6.5-mjb2 for more than 2 days only, system is pretty stable (the same as almost all other 2.6.x with my box). The significant performance improved compared to 2.6.5-aa5, 2.6.5 and all others 2.6.x for with a low end box line mine (660 Mhx Celeron 256 Mb RAM) make me write this comment. :-) Wish that some improvement could make way to the mainline kernel.
The memory management is nearly perfect. Before I tried one ck kernel use auto regulation swap and it was still much worse than this one as I noticed the value in swappiness also changes by the time.
Here is one of the usage senario with my box: Running 1. Netbean-3.6-rc1 2. Tomcat 5.0.19 3. A dictionary server written in Java (my work) 4. Mozilla to test local Tomcat 5. 3 terminals, one centericq, one pine 6. Icewm
6. bash-2.05b$ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 255240 252376 2864 0 7924 89532 -/+ buffers/cache: 154920 100320 Swap: 256960 3996 252964
Compared to all other 2.6.x and 2.4.x the swap usages for the same is about 30Mb and if I do lots of compiling jsp pages, it increased to nearly 128Mb swap and system became rather slugish. With 2.6.5-mjb2 the maximum swap usage I noticed is 30Mb and system response is quite good.
Thank you for doing a good job so I can still keep my old box for working :-)
