In my experience, it does a better job of > scdeduling than SCHED_4BSD, even on UP machines (YMMV). Yes, i run with SCHED_ULE, the machine is less interactive than with 6.2 when compiling, but, as i said, i don't care much about that. What i really don't like is panicking, and with 7.0 my machine is perfectly stable. On the other hand, many tasks run very fast under 7.0, so, overall i am very happy with this version. -- Michel TALON
