Linus, the fact that is not explained by your theory is why Ctrl-Z+kill works but Ctrl-C doesn't. On the signal side these both should be implemented in the same way -- if there was really a missing signal_pending() check somewhere then Ctrl-Z (and kill) should be delayed too.
Now doing faster signal processing is always a good thing in general, but I'm a little doubtful your patch will help with that particular problem.
