I'm running 2.4.3 with glibc-2.2 and it's running okay with
CURRENT-20010411 and a full feed. I couldn't get the performance out of
2.2.anything, SMP was less efficient, network throughput was less, etc,
etc. Oh, perl 5.6.1 with largefile, otherwise the perl stuff doesn't
work. I believe it's configed for 4GB of memory, not highmem (64GB),
since I only have 2GB installed.

By the time you patch all the features into 2.2 you may well be
running less tested code than with 2.4. That's my feeling. I read that
there was some minor issue with 2.4.4, 2.4.5-pre1 is out, as is ac1, I
think that's a good idea if you want to upgrade again.
