Subject: Minimal jitter = good desktop.
Date: Sat, 06 Oct 2012 02:49:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.wlqe9kw36426ze@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Reducing jitter seems central for many things.
First of all keypresses seem faster. (less jitter = less latency).
Doom 3 and similar jittersensitive OpenGL applications run smoothly, and  
better than windows. Doom 3 was also my main app to get running well, and  
measuring jitter in the signalpath of OpenGL improved the overall  
computing experience.

Even youtube videos who are not synced to refresh, with a refresh of 60,  
and a videofps of 30, runs quite well.

System is responsive, and I have only had one problem, and that is packing  
seems not to work at the moment.

For a fast test in Ubuntu, try

Definately a recommended config on the desktop.

Peace Be With You.
