Description of problem: slow kb response time. In 2.4.18 the kb response time under load (swapping / loading huge binaries like mozilla) was much better then with 2.4.20-2.2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.20-2.2 How reproducible: 1. Stress sytem 2. type somthing on console 3. wait for chars to appear.
just to make sure; you're not complaining about keyboard repeat rate but about interactive response ?
Yes thats what I'm complaining about it esp bad when doing rpm -ivh <some-not-small-rpm> and then just continuing with work as asual. This is on a 128 meg RAM machine with gnome without nautilus but with mozilla open.
could you try the latest kernel in rawhide? It should behave a LOT better in this regard.
I've tested it and its much better indeed, I believe even better then the kernel in 8.0. You can close this as far as I'm concerned.
closing..
