Hmmm.

Raw performance seems to be increased as well, due to an improved kernel 
(2.4.18 plus low-latency and preemptible patches, according to the kernel 
source RPM).  Although I am a little overwhelmed by the increased performance 
of this new Athlon 1.2+512MB RAM versus my old Celeron 650+192MB RAM, 7.2.93 
seems to be faster on the same hardware.

Particularly during the regression tests.
