This one looks *awesome* here - the base -mm1 version (which was -O5int if I remember right) was still subject to very tiny stutters (sound like "clicks") in xmms (everybody's favorite tester ;) under some conditions (changing folders in the Exmh mail client was usually good for a click). -O6int has stuttered exactly once in the past hour, and that was with Exmh going, a large grep running, a sudden influx of fetchmail/sendmail/procmail (probably 30-50 fork/ exec pairs/sec there), launching Mozilla (oink ;), and something else big all at the same time (in other words, under as extreme load as this laptop ever sees in actual production useage). /Valdis --==_Exmh_1548023285P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQE/FYaNcC3lWbTT17ARAlj6AKCQJgrqrIgOugvBN2nriKFP3e5pHgCgspYE exSltgeWylne1nCoDI5kzkw= =3kri -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1548023285P--
