I think I know what you mean now; scrolling or deleting lines in vim is
very slow most of the time here now, but not always. Could indeed be a
scheduler problem, or either gnome-terminal (you're using that as well,
right?) or the X server doing something stupid which happened to have
less of an impact with older kernels (didn't see it even with older 2.6
kernels, certainly not as severely).
