I did try Con Kolivas BFS patch, and turned off dynticks, and set the hz  
to 2000. That seems to be the hz most complementing the "least  
psychovisual noise" target.

Things seem much more human now, the snow falling in tuxracer intro, is  
very smooth, and jitterfree, and much more human nature, in youtube videos.

Definately something for the next generation of linux machines!

Peace Be With You.
