Huh? I don't think so, as a matter of fact in same cases they are slower, due to more memory use required for those with smaller memory systems. And, you certainly can't mean that the optimized code is faster, because in some cases although it's faster it's wrong (ie; buggy). Just because Linux uses 2.7.2 doesn't mean it doesn't have bugs in it. (Far from it.) Nate
