When, the goal is to treat as many tasks as possible as equals with little to no resource starvation for tasks that need interactivity, then the stock kernel is not enough. Try untaring a huge file, compile a kernel, play an mp3, and browse the internet on a stock kernel. It can't done. Something suffers: the mp3 skips or the browser is not responsive. With ck-sources, for my multi-user desktop use, I don't have a problem. -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
