I haven't myself switched to the 2.6.x kernel series yet, but I have seen reports warning of problems with some external add-in modules, including the nvidia drivers ... showing up as high CPU loads caused, I think, by context switching not being handled efficiently. (Also problems with ivtv and lirc, if memory serves, and maybe some of the wlan stuff.)
Caution ... or, better, patience, as this stuff will certainly get worked out ... *may* be indicated here.
Joy - do you actually have an nvidia framebudffer module running with 2.6.x?
yes, have been using the 2.6 series almost as soon as it was released and used to use the patches from minion.de until the
5336 nvidia driver was released. I don't exactly understand your Q (too hitech for me ;-) however I figure you are asking
me about it's (kernel's) performance under heavy loads. well I ran 3 instances of xine playing (what else) 'Highway Star'
at the same time on KDE which I think should put the cpu under load, Kde being the major load :) with no problems.
this was . 2.6.1or .2 maybe...........
