Yes, with -rc6, and this:
rei $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/mwilson/largefile bs=16384 count=131072
The mouse starts skipping soon after the box starts swapping. It eventually catches up, but then when I start up another application, it starts again.
I have the test running as I type this e-mail in mutt (with vim as the editor), and there are noticeable pauses where I'm typing, but there isn't anything happening on the screen.
It's *much* better than it was with my prior kernel (-rc2), but it's most definately still there.
Anyone got any other test they want me to make on the box?
