I have been running with ULE+Preemption on a thinkpad T41 under RELENG_5, and a dual 933 P3 under -CURRENT. For the most part the thinkpad is rock solid, a few hangups with X where fluxbox dumps me to commandline, typically with lots of things running and after days of uptime. The dual 933 has been a rocky road, since 5.0 it has fluxuated between almost unusable to surprisingly fast. Right now it seems very bogged down doing nothing, video files see some jitteryness and firefox typcially crashes the entire system unless it is the only thing running, and firefox visibly slows down the entire system. In the past ULE has given me must better results on this system, even when I was tracking 5.3-stable and merged in ule changes from -current. By better results I mean the feel of the system while running X, music, tv tuner, mplayer, etc... Long email I know, thanks.
