Nice helps, but it only makes the problem intermittent. I've tried changing the scheduler to ULE, and disabling SMP, but it didn't help. There have been threads on the stable list about jerky mouse performance, which may be part of this, but I have really followed it closely. I'm also wondering whether this might be due to some xorg or other port change from late 2007 that I only noticed when I started doing a lot of rebuilding under 7-stable.
