Yes, with -rc6, and this: rei $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/mwilson/largefile bs=16384 count=131072 The mouse starts skipping soon after the box starts swapping. It eventually catches up, but then when I start up another application, it starts again. I have the test running as I type this e-mail in mutt (with vim as the editor), and there are noticeable pauses where I'm typing, but there isn't anything happening on the screen. It's *much* better than it was with my prior kernel (-rc2), but it's most definately still there. Anyone got any other test they want me to make on the box? -- Marc Wilson | You're a card which will have to be dealt with. msw@cox.net | - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
