I have a 2.1.5 box similarly configured, running inn1.4unoff4. newsfeeds is a PPro200 with 256MB RAM, the other's a P200 with 256MB RAM. My impression is that 2.2-C handles VM thrashing differently, because interactive response starts to go downhill when things get busy. On the other hand, I/O performance seems spectacular. No panics, no real complaints, it's fast and efficient. ...
