[CLUE-Tech] KISS session tomorrow

[Dan Harris]

Yes, that certainly would be good reading.  There have been a few kernel 
  comparisons, mostly between revisions of it, like 2.2 vs 2.4 and 2.4 
with the "old" VM vs the "new" VM.  Unfortunately all these results tend 
to get clouded with contoversy and a heated debate over whether the 
testing criteria were valid (could have given one method an advantage vs 
another, etc, etc...)  I'd rather stay away from that can of worms :) 
Plus, I think it would be better left to someone much more 
kernel-knowledgable than myself.

My comments regarding speed increases are derived through my own 
observations with no empirical studies to back them up.
   However, I firmly believe very noticeable speed improvements can be 
had by selecting the appropriate options.
