Well, you can read the changelogs at kernel.org and find out what's different. The nitro patch makes your kernel faster, more responsive, increases performance in games and adds new features. Go to the Gentoo forums and read about all the new features.

I don't see anything there that'd speed the kernel up?

 

Just for interest, kernel-multimedia has reiser4, inotify, lufs and swsusp2. Main MDK kernel has at least inotify and lufs.

iphitus: yes, multimedia definitely has reiser4 (main doesn't), and the reiser4 userspace tools are in contrib. Though I should clarify I'm talking about Cooker here, they weren't in the 10.1 multimedia kernel.

 

I think danny and svetljo use a lot of stuff from the ck patchset in multimedia, but I don't follow the details.
