Kernel Log: Coming in 2.6.32 (Part 6): Infrastructure
,----[ Quote ]
| Devtmpfs, aka 'devfs 2.0' to its
| detractors, should allow the Linux kernel
| to start faster and run without udev.
| Support has been added for ACPI 4.0 and
| there are two new make targets which
| generate kernel configurations attuned to
| the running system. Changes to the power
| management subsystem increase data
| throughput and allow better use of runtime
| power saving features on modern I/O
| devices.

Linux 2.6.32 Kernel Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| With the Linux 2.6.32 kernel being released
| in a few days, we found it time to
| benchmark this newest kernel release that
| brings new drivers, kernel mode-setting
| improvements, virtualization enhancements,
| and more.
|
| [...]
|
| While there are just nine test results
| shown in this article, we have been running
| more Linux 2.6.32 kernel tests on other
| systems and with more test profiles.
| Besides the performance drops when using
| EXT4 and then a few encoding improvements,
| we have not encountered many performance-
| related changes with the Linux 2.6.32
| kernel.

| Against that background, you almost begin to

| The kernel development team have enhanced
| various aspects of Btrfs, one effect of
