I really do wish that desktop responsiveness gets the same attention in the future.
Going from a clean install of gutsy to a clean install of hardy felt like going from win 3.11 to Vista.

Like the majority of the users, I assumed it was related to some hardware configuration; perhaps the binary NVidia driver; perhaps bugs in Compiz; I also assumed that pulseaudio support, since it is new, just had some initial quirks.

To learn that it is a system-wide issue; effecting _everyone_ is a little surpising.

Can we file bug against the quality control protocol in place? To prevent these huge regressions in the future?
It's hard to imagine those responsible for the kernel didn't notice this. Desktop responsiveness should be a top priority. Perhaps the kernel developpers make less use of the multimedia features themselves? Too much work and too little play? Ifso, the solution seems simple; mandatory play-time!
