I just ran into this story. A rather small patch in the scheduler will make the Linux kernel 60 times faster. Ubuntu already held out really well against Windows 7 in a benchmark test, soon it will be much faster.

I guess I can only agree with the conclusion of the article:

"But it's especially exciting to see such speed advantages coming to the desktop. Soon, not only will Linux deliver superior security, reliability and numerous other advantages, but it will be a speed demon as well. For businesses, in particular, that's a combination that will be hard to beat."
