Comparing the speed, yeah, 2.6.7 was much faster on our systems than 2.4.x. 
Comparing the stability, it depends. Our main fileserver every morning 
crashed with page allocation errors. Almost nobody on LKML was interested in 
it and I also didn't see anything on LKML stating that this could be fixed :( 
So we had to switch back to 2.4.x. Now its running stable and never touch a 
running system..., even when its much slower.

On our compute-cluster-server however, 2.6.9 seems to run more stable than 
2.4.27 (probably since its a x86-64 system).

Cheers,
 Bernd
