Before this patch with all the programs i usually keep running (opera/iceweasel with lots of tabs, icedove mail client, konversation irc client, akregator feed reader, and the super-hog second life client, vim, among others) the reponse was a bit slugish (waiting for program focus, wait for redrawing specially when i change from one virtual desktop to another). After I started using this patch the response/interactivity seems improved and faster, i never used Linux so responsive as now. I can switch between virtual desktops with immediate response. Even with a load of 2.0 (now, while i am writing this) thse system it's very responsive and the audio and video still work without glitches. Just for the record, and if it matters i am using it on a laptop with a T2500 CPU, 1 GB RAM. If there's any way i can help, providing data, running any kind of benchmark to quantify the beahaviour, etc... please ask. Thanks all who made/tested this patch. Good work. Thanks.
