synaptic kernel

[Michael Havens]

Well isn't that strange.... after my aot-get of 2.4.27 and associated packages  
this old box seems to be running quicker
a comparison o top reveals:

yesterday
top - 18:03:30 up  1:00,  3 users,  load average: 0.07, 0.41, 0.55
Tasks: 100 total,   1 running,  99 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 23.9% us,  7.5% sy,  0.0% ni, 63.3% id,  0.6% wa,  4.4% hi,  0.3% si
Mem:    385264k total,   292352k used,    92912k free,    14428k buffers
Swap:  1025000k total,        0k used,  1025000k free,   159768k cached

today
top - 15:36:45 up 36 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.62, 0.99, 1.09
Tasks: 108 total,   2 running, 106 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 28.5% us,  5.3% sy,  0.0% ni, 63.3% id,  1.8% wa,  0.8% hi,  0.2% si
Mem:    385264k total,   361744k used,    23520k free,    18412k buffers
Swap:  1025000k total,        0k used,  1025000k free,   192316k cached

to my untrained eye it looks as if it should be running slower. I wonder why 
not?
