Initial test-drive looks good here, but I do see a regression. First
the good news.

fairtest2 is perfect, more perfect than ever seen before in fact. Mixed
interval sleepers/hog looks fine as well (can't say perfect due to
startup differences with the various proggies, but cpu% looks perfect).
Amarok song switch time under hefty kbuild load is fine as well. I
haven't done heavy multimedia testing yet, but will give it a more
thorough workout later (errands).

The regression: I see some GUI lurch, easily reproducible by running a
make -j5 and moving the mouse in a circle... perceptible (100ms or so)
lurches not present in rc5.
