Linux kernel speeds up on the desktop

,----[ Quote ]
| While many Linux geeks were looking forward to USB 3.0 support and new 
| Firewire drivers, kernel developers have also been working on improvements 
| to desktop interactivity, particularly when the OS is under memory pressure.

USB 3.0 and Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| USB is getting a facelift!
|
| In the beginning, there was USB 1.1, with the "low speed" and "full speed"
| devices (at 1 Mbps and 12 Mbps, respectively). Then USB 2.0 came along
| with "high speed" devices that ran at 480 Mbps. Now the new USB 3.0 bus
| specification defines "SuperSpeed" devices that run at 5 Gbps (5,120 Mbps).

| The USB Implementers Forum will today unveil USB 3.0, which is said to be 
ten
| times as fast as USB 2.0. One of the first USB 3.0 announcements came from
| MCCI Corp. and Synopsis, which said they would together produce USB
| semiconductor IP and Linux-ready GPL'd drivers for the spec.

USB 3.0 to Deliver a Tenfold Speed Increase

,----[ Quote ]
| The ubiquitous Universal Serial Bus, better known as USB, is on track to 
make
| its first major upgrade in eight years â a tenfold speed increase over the
| current USB 2.0 standard. That means we'll be able to rip  music, video,
| photos from the vast array of peripherals we connect to our computers much
| more quickly, and it makes such up-and-coming devices as HD video cameras
| that much more practical.
