The whole patch is simple one-liner against andy-tracking, published by
Thomas to change some FIFO depth (as far as I understood). Everything
still working after that patch, keeping nice boost. Default image was
unusable because of speed issues.

Thanks for links, I'll hope i can try them in spare time, but
unfortunately for me, I need gsm/sound and feel no need in any sort of
SOD. With QtMoko i've found a solution for death - just always keep it
plugged, now trying it with shr. ;)
I've just followed Carsten suggestion and tested several kernels with
lmbench, I wanted to publish it for interested people with separate
letter, but we started with kernel, here is it, anyway I don't know
where to proceed:
Last time I've tried to measure memory bandwidth on om, n810 and old
Celeron 600. Now I've got interesting results with om kernel, but
unfortunately didn't get n810 to my grasp to run lmbench where.
Most interesting thing is following:

yes, faster kernel is in middle :). the difference between two one is
kernel, both systems were tested with qtmoko bought down and top showing
0 load except top. interesting that on both kernels to showed different
load. As i've got similar results with my copy test (40mb/s), i think
that Thomas one-line patch (second kernel) is unrelated. So question is
open: in qtmoko, with qpe.sh brought down and no active processes except
top in top, which thing slows down whole device from 1/3 to 1/2? time I
was unable to run oprofile because of some problems between daemon and
kernel, next thing i plan is to investigate this. I attached whole
results for whoose who are interested.
Btw, I successfully resisted idea to buy N900 in favor of continue using
OM after reading this: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31346 :)
After that, OM is evolving computer for me, n900 is not.
