I'm curious. What's the difference in reaction time between running
Eclipse M4 on a patched kernel and an unpatched one? What kernel patches
are you running?
I've seen no big improvements with the low-latency/pre-emption patches. I
do know that Eclipse/GTK in general has become a lot faster in the last
months...

Hard to measure (unless you can give me a hint how)
Lets say it that way, I only patched in the preemtion and low latency
patch on kernel 2.4.20, the rest is the same. X uses DGA DRI and XV on
standard NVidia drivers. The reaction time, subjectively is around 20% -
50% less than before. It is especially noticable during heavy switching
processes like going from Java to the Debug view. My GTK2 is compiled
against the multithreading tag in gentoo and I compiled the whole system
against AthlonTB and -O2 flags in GCC.
