Why the "up"? I've tried 1.5 and it isn't pretty, that much I agree with.
I'm currently playing some with 1.5.1_ALPHA, and it sure feels faster...
That being said, I'm still having problems with my machine. I get hangings
in biowait which never wakes up again. I suspect it might be a problem
with my CMD CQD-220 SCSi controller, but I'm also suspicious about the
MSCP driver... I'll see if I can find something now that I have a few days
off...
