Zack, many thanks for the heads-up. I have already reinstalled
Intrepid and I am not currently thinking of upgrading to Jaunty until
it becomes stable for my everyday use.

If there is any way to test it without installing, I would be very
glad to do it.
Also, I can provide any info needed from my Intrepid installation,
where everything is working great.

I didn't try the same in Jaunty, but in Intrepid, I am getting 25-45
FPS in ppracer.

The only way it is acceptable for me is if I have put in the "Greedy" fix and ensured that MTRR is set up correctly - have you all done both of those things, because I now find EXA + Greedy + working MTRR acceptable and I get a smoothish 19FPS in ppracer.

No, I have tried only the EXA+Greedy and not the MTRR one, which I
didn't know at that time.
