Well Bruce, don't be too happy. Most people aren't yet running the
optimized kernel; don't know if any of the benchmarks came from someone
running a bleeding-edge development version, which is what 2.1.99 would
be; first feature-freeze release in preparation for v2.2 afaik :)

And scrappy, no need to note that _all_ Linux kernels are bleeding edge
releases :)
