Application: Linux Kernel 2.4.x Performance Patch

This patch provides kernel preemption and kernel low latency patches which make the kernel scheduler more intelligent. The scheduler is responsible for coordinating which threads and processes run at which time. Specifically, these two patches reduce I/O wait and increase performance under high system loads. The XFS patch is for the XFS file system. XFS is a journaling file system. I like XFS because I like XFS, other options are still present; choose what you like. I recommend ReiserFS or XFS (but don't listen to me). SuperMount is like Automount, but it is nicer. SuperMount is included in Mandrake 9.1's linux kernel... that's where i got hooked on it. Most importantly this patch does what you don't want to do: tweak with your kernel when you don't have the time. Yes, I know that some people do like to tweak their kernel, but this one is pre-tweaked and has some features that most distro's don't have (to my knowledge).
