I've noticed noticeably slower screen refresh in 2.4.x than under the 2.2 kernel series. It's most noticeable when running xscreensaver with fast scrolling patterns, or when doing opague moves of large windows. I'm using Xfree 4.01 and the XFree driver for the Nvidia card (not the Nvidia binary package). This has been happening to me since the earliest 2.3.99 kernels, but it isn't really a very scientific observation, so I thought I'd wait and see if performance improved. It hasn't, so I thought I'd post it here to hear other people's thoughts on it. Would it have anything to do with shm performance under 2.4. I read that Rik said that it wasn't really as good as it could be. Does that mean that it should be slower than under 2.2 though? Sorry for my cluelessness. Tell me to get lost if this doesn't belong here, or let me know what tests I should run which would give a number to these observations.
