[aklug] Re: Phoronix recently published an article regarding a ~200 lines Linux Kernel patch

Maybe I don't know how to use pastebin, but the link you posted doesn't seem to work.

It starts to load that raw.php?[etc], then drops back to pastebin.com/index.html

I just installed this hack on my Arch Netbook, using these intrustions:
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=3DsHRYRuAN
I've only been using it for about 20 minutes, but chromium is really
feeling faster, with videos, flash sites, google maps also seem faster
almost upto google-earth speeds.  It might be a little plocibo, but
the hack is so small could just comment it out quickly to test it
against 'the norm'
I think I'm gonna keep this one installed.
