Booted up on my system perfectly, Pentium-D 830 3GHz, 1.5GB RAM. No problems whatsoever so far, using 0.26. I can launch up a bunch of encode jobs, in SCHED_NORMAL even, and still have low latency on my desktop (I know it's not low latency _specific_ code, but it works very well). I guess all I can say is.. wow. This code isn't "prime time" ready, yet.. But it can be, and would be a great addition to mainline. Hell, a little tuning and merging this with a few current ck patches could make a damn fine kernel, and probably beat out the original staircase in desktops. :) Keep up the good work ! -r -- Rodney "meff" Gordon II -*- meff <at> pobox.com Systems Administrator / Coder Geek -*- Open yourself to OpenSource
