Re: Performance ?

The new kernel is a tad bit snappier on interactive loads, but these improvements has been available for 2.4 as patches for some time. So you may already have them if you are running a distro kernel.

SuSE 8.2 with KDE 3.1 and Linux 2.4.20 felt snappier to me then
SUSE 9.1 with KDE 3.2 and Linux 2.6.4, so I downgraded.

Well, this is SuSE specific, cause SuSE is a well overloaded Distribution
which (my opinion) is not at all made to achieve the maximum performance!

Slackware doesn't include any of these patches in its default kernels....

To answer the question one layer up: Yes, 2.6 speeds things up. It's a noticable speed increase on all my systems. It may not like your super-old hardware, though, if it is, indeed, super-old.
