Testing is very simple: In one xterm window make bzImage in other mplayer /some/movie.avi ... and the movie is jerky :-( In the weekend i did some experiments with the defines in kernel/sched.c It seems that changing in MAX_TIMESLICE the "200" to "100" or even "50" helps a little bit. (i was able to do a make bzImage and watch a movie without noticing that is a kernel compile in background) system is AMD DURON chipset via KT/KM 133, Ati Radeon VE. I remeber with nostalgicaly about the times when i could (with a 2.5 kernel) do a make -j 5 bzImage AND watch a movie in the same time -- # fortune fortune: write error on /dev/null -- please empty the bit bucket ----------------------------------------- This email was sent using SquirrelMail.
