at the last linux kernel developement summit linus and many of those who have developed the kernels major revolutions in the last few years have come to address performance issues once again.
according to eweek. the problems with the well known buggy multi core process schedular and slow actions of the ext3 filesystem are causing server performance to drop in commercial applications. according to linus the more processor assighned to an active kernel the slower the performance of the system quite from linus "every core is a stab in the heart" personally i seen this on my twin core amd but it also faced the many 64 bit bugs. and the strive for a faster journalized filesystem. ext5 ext 4 was released but it didnt offer much more performance gain and had the same faulkt protection as the ext3 but was also harder to implement their goal is to release a more "aggressive" version of the ext3 system in time with the new kernal and multi core process schedular. so that they can all be implemented into upcoming distrobution releases. oh and btw im not gonna bother to spell check this
