Subject: 2.6.10-ck5 From: Con Kolivas Date: Wed, 19 Jan 2005 01:21:40 +1100 To: linux kernel , ck kernel These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness. It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace. http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/2.6/2.6.10/2.6.10-ck5/ web: http://kernel.kolivas.org all patches: http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/ This is a maintenance release concentrating on getting a stable and hopefully last 2.6.10 release. A lot of instability manifested by processes stuck in D was caused by the early adoption of cfq-timeslices with priority support. This project is very exciting, but is not yet suitable for a stable patchset. Note that gamers are reporting very good audio performance with staircase10.3 and higher even on cedega/wineX games.
