What does that mean? Gentoo uses a heavily patched kernel which goes far
beyound of what we dicuss

Even then, it's about only 10 percent. Let's compare them with vanilla
kernel, optimised for P4:
# time bzip2 -9k out.wav
real 0m42.862s
user 0m41.410s
sys 0m0.310s
The same running an unoptimised vanilla kernel:
real 0m40.990s
user 0m40.640s
sys 0m0.350s
Where is the performance gain you are talking about? Not even two
percent, haha.
MfG,
