Ok, that doesnt really seem to change behavior much (from just a little testing). I can still easily starve xmms by moving a window around over mozilla or evolution (I suspect for thoose that use nautilus to draw the desktop that would happen on an 'empty' desktop too..).
With 2.5.72-mm1, HZ 1000 and MAX_SLEEP_AVG 2 that does *not* happen, even with a cpu hog running (mpeg2enc) or during make -j20. However with this kernel, after having moved a window around madly for a while the mouse pointer is very laggy/jerky for atleast 30 sec after i release the window (not so with your patch).
I'm not hitting swap at all, so thats not a factor here.
