Desktop responsiveness in Feisty (vs Edgy)

[Sitsofe Wheeler]

Hi,

Has there been a change to which preemption patches are included in the
default Ubuntu kernel used in Feisty? I ask because I seem to have
noticed far more stutters (both when sound is played and when moving
things like the mouse pointer in X) and periods of up to half a second
where interaction is not possible. 

My sound card is an SBLive with hardware mixing and it was quite rare
for sound to be interrupted. My desktop is an ageing Athlon 850 and I
don't do anything that requires realtime response (like audio editing).
