-rc2-mm2 would be nice to test - there are a number of new interactivity
fixes from Con being test-driven in -mm right now. In particular, these
patches were added in -rc1-mm4. These are the patches in question:

sched-adjust_timeslice_granularity.patch
requeue_granularity.patch
sched-remove_interactive_credit.patch

you can download them individually from:

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.10-rc2/2.6.10-rc2-mm2/broken-out/

so if these symptoms still occur with vanilla -rc2-mm2, could you try to
unapply them, in reverse order? (there might be rejects when you try
that, due to patch dependencies - let me know if it doesnt work out and
i'll do an undo patch.)
