I was wondering what files are the ones that increase the performance of the kernel, besides kernel.hz.  Reading in a post by L4, they say that the kernel was not tuned like the Mach Linux port.  But I wanted to edit those files to increase performance and to also learn more about what that particular file does.  I tried doing this once, but my whole kernel got corrupted from my lack of knowing what is able to be edited and things that had to be there so it could be booted properly.

Thanks!
