This is perhaps off topic, but I will say it anyway. There was talk on
debian-devel about using Con Kolivas patches for desktop debian. I can
say that they work tremendously well with my gnome2 desktop. I would
assume it is the preemptible and low latency patches that give the
biggest boost. Go to:
http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/
and check them out. Your desktop experience will be MUCH better (and it
wasn't that bad to begin with IMO).
Yes I know this isn't a 'gnome fix' or 'gnome solution', but the patches
do help and work well.
