After patching 2.1.89pre4 to compile for non SMP, and applying another
patch so smbfs compiles, and hacking arch/i386/Makefile to compile with
-march=pentium -mcpu=pentium (for pgcc 1.01).
The swap performance has improved a fair bit. I can now load netscape,
while playing an mp3 without having the sound skip. However, when I try
to load gimp (with netscape and everything else loaded) the sound skips
like crazy with the mouse pointer stopping and starting when I move it
around. (I really hate that, even Windows doesn't do that)
Here are a few nigglies (output of stderr during compile)
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o: In function `setup_x86_irq':
arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o(.text+0x28f1): undefined reference to `enable_IO_APIC_irq'

make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1
(this was before I applied the irq.c patch) apart from that squeaky clean
Now for make modules..

This has been around for centuries.. :)

Conclusion: certainly an improvement, i'll try running gimp/netscape and
playing an mp3 in 2.1.88 to confirm in my mind that its a new problem..
Cheers,
Dave.
