Patch that does wonders. Would it be possible to test?

@fanthom & all

There was recently a 200 code patch that made the desktop more responsive. Now there has been an alternative to it that does not involve using the kernel:

Get the patch directly from over here:

Mail to kernel list
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/11/16/392

I hope that we can test both options and see which one or combination works best for us?

this patch uses 'cgropu' (Control Group) feature of the kernel, which is conflicting with BFS (Brain Fuck Scheduler):

i have read about some troubles from people who used '200 lines patch' and i have decided to go with well tested BFS for now.

testing of userspace implementation should be still possible with BFS i guess. Ponce should tell us more as he did some experiments with it.

Thanks fanthom. I read that you have incorporated the patches into remix v09 64 bit version already , just would be nice to know how the two implemenations work vs each other.
