Chuckle.  I've been running 2.6.37 here, with all of that new group 
scheduling stuff enabled, the desktop feels great and my only fuss is that 
kaffiene, when watching digital tv on my pcHD-3000 card, is NOT getting 
enough time so both the audio and the video have little 20 millisecond 
holes chopped in them at sub-second intervals.  Not the most pleasant thing 
to watch.  I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get such an  
application a higher priority.
