Buried deep in another mail thread was the latest implementation of my O1int
patch so I've brought it to the surface to make it clear this one is
significantly different from past iterations.

Summary:
Decreases audio skipping with loads.
Smooths out X performance with load.

I've also made it available here:
http://kernel.kolivas.org/2.5

along with a patch called granularity that is a modified version of Ingo's
timeslice_granularity patch. It is no longer necessary and may slightly
decrease throughput in non-desktop settings but put on top of my O1int patch
makes X even smoother.
