    Not really.
    No change on my system.
    No fancy gui (just fvwm). Testing is very simple:
    In one xterm window make bzImage
    in other mplayer /some/movie.avi
    ... and the movie is jerky :-(

    In the weekend i did some experiments with the defines in kernel/sched.c
    It seems that changing in MAX_TIMESLICE the "200" to "100" or even "50"
    helps a little bit. (i was able to do a make bzImage and watch a movie
    without noticing that is a kernel compile in background)

    system is AMD DURON chipset via KT/KM 133, Ati Radeon VE.

    I remeber with nostalgicaly about the times when i could (with a 2.5
    kernel) do a make -j 5 bzImage AND watch a movie in the same time
