I did notice a slower response with the newest rootfs, so I don't think it is a false reading. I am on the newest kernel, I've just forced the old led_regime mode because I like it better.

Fair enough.

I'd be curious about your rootfs slowdowns - is there a particular rootfs where it starts occurring? You said you switched from 9/14 to 10/19, but there is no 9/14 rootfs. 9/2, 9/18, 20, & 30.... then 10/19.

Those were the modified dates of the rootfs.img files, so I guess it doesn't correspond to the version for the older file. How do I determine the version of the rootfs.img file? I believe it was the rootfs.img that came in the FRX07.1_Full_Bundle_20110901.zip file.

If you already have a rootfs, there's no fool-proof way that I can think of off the top of my head. I'd just go to the rootfs autobuild and then you'll know for sure.

From the rootfs autobuild log and the date code of the FRX07.1 bundle, I would guess the older rootfs.img file was from 8/31. However, it could be the 9/2 version since there is a note about lowering the SD readahead buffer to 256kb, which mine was originally. The newer rootfs.img is definitely from 10/19.

Looking through the rootfs autobuild log between those dates, the only entry I see that may be related to memory is from 9/30/11: fixup /dev/block/ramzswap0 creation
