(this part is very dependant upon your own hardware)
(what is mentioned below are only changes beyond what is selected by default)
Block Layer --->
-> IO Scheduler
this should be set to CFQ if you do not have a hardware caching controller
if you have a hardware caching controller DEADLINE or NO-OP are the best
choices, if you have a battery backuped caching controller that is set to write-back you should use NO-OP.
Processor Type and Features --->
->Symmetric multi-processing support
(if you have multiple processors or a Dual-core or HT enabled)
->High Memory Support
(if you have more than 900MB of System RAM move upto 4GB)
->Timer frequency (1000 HZ)
(change to 1000Hz if using ztdummy for timer)
(change to 1000Hz if using ztdummy for timer on pre 2.6.17 kernel)
->[*]Tickless System (enable UNLESS using ztdummy on pre 2.6.17 kernel)
->[*]Enable Kernel irq balancing
->Preemption Model (No Forced Preemption (Server))
(This one is very important!!!)
