well this is initially just to do with the kernel; but it surely applies elsewhere too
Linux mint must be used almost solely for Desktop/PC use
so why dont the mint team include the -ck patches and set the pre emption to low-latency?
this is what i would want at least; as the reason i use linux is the lovely speed and lack of 'OMG this background program is hungry im a slow your webs down' that you get with other OS's
Guys?
be more desktop specific!

Re: be more desktop specific!
Can you please add some background info and links to the -ck patches?

Re: be more desktop specific!
the ck patchset is a set of patches by con kolivas
the main one is the BFS cpu scheduler which will NOT improve performance (what everyone assumes) but WILL improve responsiveness
http://users.on.net/~ckolivas/kernel/
the latency thing is a setting build into the kernel
other possibilities include the BFQ i/o scheduler which is supposed to be very worthwhile, but i have yet to get to work
