patch

Hi,

Nowadays I'm hearing a lot about the new ~200 line path to Linux kernel that is said makes sensible difference in performance.

Now, do anyone has experience on applying this path on his Ubuntu kernel?

I also saw an alternative way that claimed has a better result:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59511828/cgroup_patch
chmod +x cgroup_patch
sudo ./cgroup_patch

What do you think this is? Is this validated?

I ask this question because I need more performance but I can't risk on stability.
