hi: i want to build a custom 2.6.x kernel for desktop systems. i have build kernel 2.6.12-3 successfully , but the performace of the kernel 2.4.27-1-386 ( from debian sid mirror ) is much better than kernel 2.6.12-3 that i built from source. for ex: in kernel 2.4.27-1 if it takes 5 minutes to burn a CD, it will take around 20 minutes in my customized kernel. Also running 2 or more applications is very sppedy in 2.4.27-1 than my custom built kernel.
what shouild i add in .confi g before building my 2.6.x keries so that the perfomance will be equal or better than 24.x series kernel. Thanks Paras.
