I read the Con Kolivas story some time ago, although frankly I didn't know what to do about it since I wanted a newer kernel after that. Any recommendations for a similar ck-like patchset or anything like it for desktop performance on later kernels? I doubt my toy boxes will really hit server bottlenecks anyway :)
