[Bug 30557] Re: cpu idle time in /proc/stat wrong

[anonym]

Dell Latitude D810 here.

This problem seems dramatically lessened but not altogether gone.
Dragging windows and other video-intensive actions are marginally slower
than with the -386 kernel.  Also my screensavers now run at about 10%
their regular speed.  (ati binary driver)  Yes, it's like watching a
slideshow now.

I've been following this thread/problem for quite awhile, and hoped that
this kernel update would solve all the problems.  Looks like it's FAR
better than it was, but things still aren't 'normal' vs. the -386
kernel.

I'd stick with the -386 kernel except that vmware is almost unusable
with it; the -686 kernel is considerably faster.
