Comment 463 for bug 620074

wait wait what is this :O
updating to yesterday's git kernel (from 2.6.34-git12) gave me a huge perceived speed boost? haven't specifically compared iowait times - but all processes seem to be using less cpu time? my BOINC likes that very much ;)
a lot of concurrent IO here and the system, apart from minor application stalling (although 8GiB RAM and no swap), hasn't been this un-sluggish for a loooong time (2.6.18? ;)
feels like someone finally released the breaks - hope you guys can confirm this!
