I tested all different combination. The performance change is almost=20 invisible (100-200KB/s), and can't be compared with the performance boost that TSC gain over=20 ACPI-fast timecounter. Unfortunately TSC doesn't play nice with power saving modes. --=20 Best Wishes, Stefan Lambrev ICQ# 24134177
