mjc-sources: do they rock for desktop (KDE)?

I just found that there are some new sources named mjc-sources in portage. A quick google presented to me that these mjc-sources have the potential to futher latency reduction. So I tried it. I was quite amazed as it seems to to something for kde. Can anyone confirm this? or is it the coffee I just drank

I can't tell you what exactly mjc source differs from gentoo-sources but when applying to a plain kernel mjc sources are great.

I remember when he opened his own tree (sometimes saw him on #kernelnewbies) and he used Rik van Riel's reverse mapping vm, some latency things etc.

gentoo-sources also uses latency patches, rmap etc. so plain gentoo-sources rocks, really !

I know this won't help you but in general I wanted to say:
If you are using gentoo-sources you already have a good patched kernel, if you are using a plain kernel -ac and -mjc are worth a try

gentoo-sources uses the -ac branch and patches from there; 2.4.19-r7 is based off of 2.4.19-pre7-ac2.

So, gentoo-sources users are running -ac anyway.
