Hi Con, I have 2.6.21-ck1 running happily on a variety of machines. Everything seems fine on both uniprocessor and SMP machines. I've been running SD for a couple of weeks now, including alternating between a SD patched kernel and an "old" staircase based kernel for a week of that. SD seems perfectly smooth. In fact on going back to the old kernel for a day I'm sure it felt more "choppy". I don't really do benchmarks, "feel" is more relevant to me. Right now I'd say my R4 "feels" better with SD than it has for a long time. Nice Job. Thanks for persisiting. As an aside I realized whilst trying non ck kernels the last few weeks just how much of a difference swap prefetch actually makes on a lowish memory machine such as this. Arigatou gozaimashita David
