Better than mainline. I can listen music from a video dvd while browsing with opera and amule running. In mainline (CFQ scheduler) i cannot do this because the sound skips badly. With RSDL there are very few skips, they are shorter and related on a particular event - in this case clicking a link in Opera browser. Now system info: CPU: AMD Duron 700 MHz, MB chipset VIAKT133 (UDMA 66), memory 384172 kB (reported by /proc/meminfo). Kernel is 2.6.21-rc3 #3 PREEMPT with RSDL 0.30 patches. Thanks Bye Calin P.S. As a side note: in mainline the cpu was distributed almost equally between different tasks which favoured the big cpu hogs (amule and opera). Now, in RSDL the mplayer gets a bigger stake -- "frate, trezeste-te, aici nu-i razboiul stelelor" Radu R. pe offtopic at lug.ro
