[Bug 131094] Re: Heavy Disk I/O harms desktop responsiveness

[Martin Meyer]

If we can't pull the patch fully into Maverick for testing, can we
possibly have someone setup a PPA containing a normal kernel for Lucid
and Maverick except for having this patch applied to it? I would love to
see if this patch helps the responsiveness of my desktop at work. I am
always under memory pressure because I keep a VM running, and I
frequently have heavy disk I/O situations due to log parsing. I think
I'm a great tester for this.

The problem I'm already foreseeing here is that there isn't really a
quantitative test for success. All I can say is whether or not my
desktop "feels" more responsive. How would I actually measure
responsiveness? Those types of issues are nearly impossible to reproduce
reliably IMO.
