From the looks of the benchmarks described here:
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/Know/Linux24vs26
and the results are basically confirmed here:
http://www.2cpu.com/articles/98_1.html
there are good reasons to avoid using the 2.6 kernel. Frankly, I'm surprised
and would have thought that the changes in the scheduler would have brought
improvements, as did the report here:
http://www.lynuxworks.com/corporate/news/2004/linux-kernel-2.6.php
But it looks like the major improvements are in filesystem performance, so for
embedded use, 2.4 will be around for quite a while.
