Hello,
I\'ve compiled a kernel (for the SL5600 - poodle) with the following instructions from this site:
http://tetsu.homelinux.org/zaurus/kernel/If you want to translate to English -]
http://www.excite.co.jp/world/url/The kernel source code is based on the c860 source and 4 patches.
Here are some stats:
### default kernel
Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
Register option not selected.
Microseconds for one loop: 4.2
Dhrystones per second: 240639.1
VAX MIPS rating: 136.960
### preemptif kernel -]
http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
Register option not selected.
Microseconds for one loop: 2.5
Dhrystones per second: 402933.4
VAX MIPS rating: 229.330
### special kernel
Dhrystone Benchmark, Version 2.1 (Language: C)
Register option not selected.
Microseconds for one loop: 2.1
Dhrystones per second: 476099.8
VAX MIPS rating: 270.973
I\'v been using a preemptif kernel for about 3 months and I\'ve never seen any problem. I don\'t know about this \"special kernel\" but it\'s really really fast, you can see a massive difference in term of usability!
Let me know if you want the source and the binary. Don\'t know where to upload it on the ZUG...
Ced.
