Thanks for confirming these reports.

Alright, let's test with the greedy patch enabled next, as a lot of
people reported it solving issues such as what you two described:

http://people.ubuntu.com/~bryce/Testing/intel/*/

   xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.3.1-1ubuntu1~bwh1_i386.deb
                        -- or --
   xserver-xorg-video-intel_2.3.1-1ubuntu1~bwh1_amd64.deb

(Also, anyone know any tricks for measuring scrolling speed in firefox?
It'd be nice to have some deterministic numbers to compare with.)

Thanks again,
