These are patches designed to improve system responsiveness and interactivity with specific emphasis on the desktop, but suitable to any workload.

Each discrete patch contains a brief description of what it does at the top of the patch itself.
The most significant change is an updated BFS CPU scheduler, up to version 0.363. See the announce of that patch for the changelog. The rest is a resync.

I'll be offline shortly and in Japan for a few weeks so I'll be unlikely to respond to any emails in that time.
Enjoy! Con -- -ck
