skas0 cannot currently be as fast as SKAS3. Also, there is an experimental 
patch from Ingo Molnar, based on SKAS3 and not rebasable on skas0, which 
makes Uml even a lot faster. It's very old code, so there's a lot of work in 
making it generally available, but it's still very interesting.

However, if it'll be merged, it will base on the "reorganized" form of SKAS3, 
i.e. SKAS4 (but don't hold your breath waiting for it ;-) ).

You can test skas0 code (the base one, the same which will appear in 2.6.13) 
with my skas0 tree, which is a simple backport to 2.6.12.
