RSDL fixed all that, the system is noticeably snappier. As a case in point, I used to notice when a compile was done because the system stopped being sluggish. Today, a few times, I only noticed 'make' was done because the fans of my computer slowed down. Thanks for the good work! I'm on 2.6.21-rc3-rsdl-0.29.
