it's on slashdot, it must be true:
"During a roundtable discussion at LinuxCon in Portland, Oregon this
afternoon, moderator and Novell distinguished engineer James Bottomley
asked Tovalds whether Linux kernel features were being released too
fast, before the kernel is stabilized.
Citing an internal Intel study that tracked kernel releases, Bottomley
said Linux performance had dropped about two per centage points at
every release, for a cumulative drop of about 12 per cent over the
last ten releases. "Is this a problem?" he asked.
"We're getting bloated and huge. Yes, it's a problem," said Torvalds."
well, not really slashdot:

Ron, did you throw anything at Linus while you were there? :)
