Now testing Con's noint patch against 2.6.0. It returns somewhat simmilar
results to Nick's w29p2, and behaves normally. The only noticeable difference
is that a simple task like "while :; do :; done&" eats about 100ms each second,
so if you start 10 of these, you're able to type only once a second (tested).
But I understand that this 'dumbness' was exactly the goal of this patch.
I think that I'll try to use 2.6 + Nick's scheduler for some time on my
notebook to get an overall idea on how it behaves.
BTW, Nick, does your patch rely on -mm1 exclusive features, or would it be
possible to back-port it to plain 2.6 ?
