I've applied the patch you posted in your web page for 2.4.21-ck1. It feels 
more reactive but has an annoying collateral effect, it seems to slow down to 
new processes forked from an interactive program.

I see it when selecting a PGP signed message in kmail, it takes up to two 
seconds to show the message body. The lag wasn't so noticeable before.

Regards,
