There seems to be something fundamentally wrong with the 2.6.15 
series. I run a vanilla kernel straight from kernel.org and 2.6.11 
ran as smooth as silk. I've been using 2.6.15 for three weeks (all 
patches up to .4) and the box is noticeably slower, gui response is 
jerky, gcc frequently maxes out the cpu and ADSL throughput is 
consistently lower than the 100k I used to get

Anyone else experienced this with an unpatched vanilla kernel?
