Disable any debugging and profiling if you are out on performance. Bad luck can be to have a piece of hardware, where the decision is not already made, what why should be blacklisted for certain improvements. If you are set up once for test kernels, new changed builds can be done within minutes for testing features. Further next improvements are more to expect from the environment I guess. 2.6.0 is clearly straight on its way ... nothing to wait for anymore. (the driver seems to like gcc-3.3.1-x, but 3.2.2 will do it too) Greetings Hermann -- p.s. nvrec you need a current cvs :)
