When did you build your kernel?

On a kernel for may 7th. ULE was giving me frequent hard locks, video 
from mplayer was jittery at times, and would jerk back and forth between 
frames if I ran multiple video files (On older 5.Xs I was able to do 
this pretty flawlessly). Sounds remained fairly smooth throughout but 
running beep-media-player in concert with firefox seemed to aggravate 
the hard locks. I switched to 4BSD and I am now seeing much better 
performance across the board, still a few locks-- specifically when 
loading large directories in the Rox-Filer. Other than that the 
performance is quite improved. This is subjective I have not performed 
any benchmarks.

This machine is a Dual P3 933, setup as a desktop system. ASUS CUV4X-DLS 
motherboard, 640MB ECC SDRAM, SCSI, Promise SATA150 raid controller, 
GeForce FX 5200 running dual CRT.
