The situation should be greatly improved in kernel 2.6.35. See http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODE5Mg and http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODIyOA

This kernel is being used in the upcoming Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat". If you want to try this on Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx", a PPA of kernel 2.6.35-rc6 can be found at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

The final version of kernel 2.6.35 should be available soon.
