Hmmm.

Raw performance seems to be increased as well, due to an improved kernel
(2.4.18 plus low-latency and preemptible patches, according to the kernel
source RPM). Although I am a little overwhelmed by the increased performance
of this new Athlon 1.2+512MB RAM versus my old Celeron 650+192MB RAM, 7.2.93
seems to be faster on the same hardware.

Particularly during the regression tests.
