[aklug] Re: Phoronix recently published an article regarding a ~200 lines Linux Kernel patch

I just installed this hack on my Arch Netbook, using these intrustions:

http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=3DsHRYRuAN

I've only been using it for about 20 minutes, but chromium is really
feeling faster, with videos, flash sites, google maps also seem faster
almost upto google-earth speeds. It might be a little plocibo, but
the hack is so small could just comment it out quickly to test it
against 'the norm'

I think I'm gonna keep this one installed.
