Hope many here will be excited about this:) While I am excited about it, in my own testing I did not notice any improvement. I tested opening a large (>5000x5000) JPEG in Firefox and running a 3D game. The 3D game becomes choppy while the JPEG image loads with or without the wonder patch. Now, this may be a bottleneck outside of the kernel, but I do not have a slouch of a system (F14, quad-core 3ghz w/ 4gigs ram).
