While the Linux 2.6.23 kernel is only weeks into development,
it's already generated quite a bit of attention. From the merging of the
Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) to the -rc2 kernel being "the new -rc1",
the Linux 2.6.23 kernel is certainly in store for being an ornate
release. Adding to this attention has been a stable user-space driver
API and virtualization improvements (KVM, Xen, and LGuest). With all of
this activity surrounding the Linux 2.6.23 kernel we've decided to
conduct a handful of benchmarks comparing the Linux 2.6.20, 2.6.21,
2.6.22, and 2.6.23 kernel releases so far.
Check it out at Phoronix.
