the patch is there, I applied it together with the stats-patch
and my system is running like a charm right now, never have seen
this kind of response in X.

the only thing is, the perl-script at:
http://www.tech9.net/rml/linux/top-latencies

shows something this:

----[ SNIP ]----

that 3895 number for '2111/tcp_ipv4.c c0226736119/softirq.c'
keeps adding up, how should I translate that? big network
latency, is that what it means? if so, any idea on how
can I fix that??
