I don't have pointers to bugs, because in a lot of cases, I just mailed/IRC'd the relevant developers.

Lots of the examples I covered are already fixed, but there are still a number of outstanding issues. I'll be rerunning the tests some time soon, and see what's left that sticks out, but based on data I collected not so long back, we're now doing a *lot* better than we used to.

The initial tests the paper was based on were done on Fedora Core 5 test1 iirc, and I did some quick stats on an FC5 final release, and the amount of reads/stats/exec's were pretty much halved, even though we had added more functionality, and a few extra daemons etc.

I'll be looking at this stuff again as we get closer to FC6.
