When I was trying to narrow down a cause of a hardware problem I noticed
that the WBEL kernel seems slower than a RH9 kernel. =20

I ran the following test to see for sure:
dd if=3D/dev/zero of=3D2gb bs=3D1024k count=3D2048

date;copy 2gb 2gb.copy1;date
date;copy 2gb 2gb.copy2;date
date;copy 2gb 2gb.copy3;date

With kernel 2.4.21-9.0.1ELsmp, the difference between the dates was
2:18, 2:23, 2:26.  With kernel 2.4.20-19.9smp, the difference between
the dates was 1:51, 1:49, 1:48.

This is on a Dual 2.8Ghz Xeon with 2GB RAM.  Nothing major is running on
the server yet to affect the times.  Does anyone have any ideas why this
is?
