do you have CONFIG_PREEMPT enabled - while perhaps Kasper has it 
disabled? Kasper, if so, could you try a quick test with CONFIG_PREEMPT 
enabled, does that make any difference to your gaming-smoothness 
results? [it's not a real solution, but this would help us narrow down 
the smoothness problem you are seeing.]
