Package: linux-image-2.6-686
Version: 2.6.26+17
Severity: wishlist


I have a fairly standard laptop configuration which is an IBM T43
ThinkPad. 

Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.86GHz
1 GB of RAM
ATI Mobility R300 GPU

With the default linux-image, I get a very sluggish and unresponsive
interaction with my OS when a small list of applications are open
(Eclipse, Firefox, Kontact, Konqueror, Konsole).

I rolled out my own package with the following changes:
CONFIG_HZ_1000=y
CONFIG_SLUB=y
Preemption Model=Desktop

With these settings in place, I'm able to feel a performance improvement
of 2-3 times.

The users can very well roll-out their own custom kernel packages, but
do you guys think it'd make sense to have a linux-image-VERSION-desktop
flavor also ?

A lot of users run Debian on desktops and laptops.

We have now enabled voluntary ('desktop') preemption and use of SLUB in
all kernel packages.  I don't think the change to HZ is that important.

Including most of the Debian kernel maintainers. :-)
