In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII List-Id: Hi Steve There were some scheduling problems with 2.2.18. It's just kind of slow. It gets stuck doing some stuff for some reason. Redrawing the screen is quite a bit slower. Fortunately from what I can tell with out having done some major testing it looks like 2.4.2 is much better about this then any of the kernels since 2.2.16. Just my observations. Yes I did notice that slackware hasn't moved the development trees to 2.4 yet. I sure hope they do.
