Kernel default vs kernel vanilla

Recent updates have brought in kernel vanilla. I always boot to kernel default but out of curiosity, I tried kernel vanilla. The graphics were definitely inferior. I am one of those people that had problems using an old nvidia card. I have no problems with the default kernel. So, I just wonder what is this kernel vanilla all about.

kernel-vanilla - The Standard Kernel - without any SUSE patches
The standard kernel - without any SUSE patches

→ upstream kernel

kernel-default - The Standard Kernel
The standard kernel for both uniprocessor and multiprocessor systems.

→ kernel specially patched and provided by SUSE/openSUSE

Thank you. The terminology now makes sense to me, as does the difference in performance on my setup.
