Kind of sucks that the kernel has only one real release cycle that's effectively forced upon everybody , even those who don't run "debian stable"...

It's never safe to assume. Upstream does whatever they feel like, including using hacked together custom makefiles which don't repsect your CFLAGS anyway....

I'd rather have seen a comparison of how well the compilers optimize rather than how features of a particular new processor becoming supported over time...

Frankly I'm shocked that all those added drivers and capabilities only blew up the code by a little over double between 2.6 and 3.0. We're talking like...

People actually run default kernels? Why stress about this stuff when toggling one option and building a kernel takes less time than rebooting. Really,...

In the future might I suggest having users rank options which make sense to do so in their order of importance. I had trouble not checking all the boxes...

"high-priority projects" - the most pointless initiative ever that's never accomplished anything. Crap stays on that list for years and nobody...

I would care about this benchmark more if it could be reproduced across the proprietary drivers and across different hardware. If all this demonstrates...

I know this has been in the works for a while. Good stuff. The only downside to v8 versus mozilla's engine is they tend to be a bit more conservative...

Have you posted to the kernel mailing list? I searched through the April archives and haven't found anything about a power regression. Somebody else familiar...

I just got back from vacation and opened my bedroom door with my computer sitting idle running 2.6.38.3 for a few days and a rush of hot air came out....
