[ltp] So what _is_ advantage of 2.6 kernel on a Thinkpad?

[Morris, Joseph C]

I personally see no need for you to upgrade. With 2.6, I noticed a =
slight speed increase under heavy load, but I don't think you'll see too =
much of an improvement.  However, I'm stuck with a 2.6 on my R40, =
because it better supports my hardware out-of-the-box.  Keep you 2.4, =
and enjoy your stability.

I've got a stable Debian 'testing' install (standard kernel 2.4.22) on =
my
R32.  I get hibernation, APM, USB, pretty much everything I want.  Only
nuisances; slightly rough sound at high volume, and occasional sticky
control, alt or shift.

The FAQ's on Kernel 2.6 are vague on what speed increases I should see,
and a search on terms 2.6, kernel and thinkpad didn't help.

What sort of goodness has anyone with an R32 (or similar model) seen =
when
they migrated to the newer kernel?

Thanks in advance.
