I usually run byte bench regularly with every new kernel, so I see some
strange results here.
>From your numbers, I would say you are using a PIII 600/900 Mhz (more or
less). It is not an AMD AThlon or a PIV, since float and double are too
slow, not it is a K6 because they are too fast.

this could vary a little

the difference should never be so big

seeing this I think you had something running in background using your CPU
while you where running int tests. if you loock at bm/results/log
(log.accum if you did some other run recently)
should find lines like:
Arithmetic Test (type = int)|10.0|lps|227163.1|227158.7|6
that is a little more interesting if you are under load.

this could vary because of a lot of factors, starting from a bad page
colouring going to sendmail activity.

this is interesting, but seeing previous results about int and short,
I am curious about your real load. I am quite curious if with 2.5 you are
using kernel preemption.

I saw the save with IDE disks... again, are you using kernel preemption?

In my tests generally shell scripts are faster with 2.5 kernel.
