Comment 336 for bug 131094

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.
