Well, jump on system time would indicate that some OS operations take much longer to complete. Which would mean either changes in those operations or maybe something is compiled differently (debug stuff enabled?). I would guess that Ubuntu doesn't use vanilla kernel, but I have no clue what changes could cause so big difference between those kernels. You could also try to use plain x264 without VLC to see if you can duplicate the results.<br>

</div>I reran my test with these options and results are approximately the same. While real time went down, user & system time were about the same:<br>
<br>
2.6.24-24: 1040m50s user + 12m50s system<br>
2.6.27-17: 841m20s user + 16m12s system<br>
2.6.28-18: 1035m40s user + 15m22s system<br>
2.6.31-20: 876m13s user + 92m50s system<br>
2.6.32-16: 887m18s user + 92m10s system<br>
<br>
Still 2.6.27 stands out as the fastest kernel, which is not what I would expect according to <a href="http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=185" target="_blank">http://x264dev.multimedia.cx/?p=185</a> .<br>
<br>
Any idea why it is so? Did ubuntu done some custom tweaks to their kernels?<br>
