These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness. It is configurable to any workload but the default ck* patch is aimed at the desktop and ck*-server is available with more emphasis on serverspace.

This is a maintenance release concentrating on getting a stable and hopefully last 2.6.10 release.

A lot of instability manifested by processes stuck in D was caused by the early adoption of cfq-timeslices with priority support. This project is very exciting, but is not yet suitable for a stable patchset.

Note that gamers are reporting very good audio performance with staircase10.3 and higher even on cedega/wineX games.
