I have been running 2.5.44 for the last week on my vdr machine without any 
such effects. I fact, 2.5 appears to be more responsive under high workloads 
and some of the new features are definetly worth a look.
Feature freeze for 2.6 preparation is in about 6 days. So the kernel should 
approach full production quality rather soon.
However, there are also problems, e.g. lirc and the AtmelWLan driver do not 
compile under the latest kernels. But those problems will not be fixed by the 
time 2.6 arrives when people do not start testing now.

I only can everybody encourage to try 2.5.

Andreas
