The 2.0.35 release notes let me do a slightly unscheduled stress test
on the 2.1.108 code.

The network code seems to be staying stable. The disk side appears to be
close but not quite there.

Cyrix MediaGX/233
Buslogic 946C scsi (known rock solid in 2.0.x)
3c509 ethernet
64Mb SDRAM (which I trust)

Doing about 2 web pages/second steady load and several big cvs checkouts
its paniced twice with a scsi_free freeing already free memory report.

Its a uniprocessor box (obviously)

I'm most impressed with the networking performance, 2.1.9x under that load
wouldnt have lasted very long at all.
