those patches are not designed to speed up your machine, but to allow |

you use it for many tasks that don't require high throughput. When, the |

goal is to treat as many tasks as possible as equals with little to no |

resource starvation for tasks that need interactivity, then the stock |

Try untaring a huge file, compile a kernel, play an mp3, and browse the |
| 12 |
internet on a stock kernel. It can't done. Something suffers: the mp3 |
| 13 |
skips or the browser is not responsive. With ck-sources, for my |
| 14 |
multi-user desktop use, I don't have a problem. |
