Tyan Tomcat III SMP dual P5-166mmx, 64mb memory, IDE hard drives, SB32 (SB16
DSP). I use X all day long (heavily, 10-20 xterms, ical, netscape, playing
audio all day, and cracking rc5 on both cpus).
On the whole things look good. I did have one crash I can't understand,
playing audio at the time, locked up hard, no info in the logs. I have noticed
that the scheduling/time slicing seems wicked fast compared to 2.1.123 which
I was running before. I had no problems compiling or configuring the kernel.
The only major thing I've noticed that is a problem (beyond the one crash), is
that memory seems to be swapped out very aggressively. Everything I'm currently
using stays in memory okay, it's not like it's swapping out from under me,
but if I leave my desk for an hour, everything will be swapped out when I
get back. I've enough memory that there's no need to swap really, and there's
nothing memory or drive hungry running (besides the obvious netscape and X).
I get back to seeing 40+mb in cache allocation.
Overall I'm quite happy, just the 1 crash, and memory swapping seems to
aggressive for my tastes.
