I believe it was tomshardware.com that did a review a while back of the 2.4 verses the 2.6 kernel. The 2.4 kernel was faster then the 2.6 in every desktop aspect. The 2.6 won out in two areas, I believe MySql and Gimp were the two. They recommended sticking to the 2.4 kernel series for desktop systems, at least for the forseeable future.

Greetings all,
I upgraded one of my 8.2 boxes to 9.1, and expected to find 9.1 a bit faster than the older version. So far that ain't happening. I did the upgrade, not fresh install. I had to clear out some older programs to eliminate dependencies, but other than that all seem to go fine.

Correct. ALL of the installs I've done, 9.1 IS slower than 9.0, which is what I've upgraded all of them from. I don't pretend to know why, but some work needs to be done "somewhere" in the area of performance.
