Hi Mark, I have applied your patch and noticed a big improvement with Youtube videos and if I am not mistaken, content heavy websites like news sites seem to load faster and more smoothly too. This machine is a 2009 Macbook Pro running -Current. I will patch my -Current server as well and let you know if I notice anything good or bad. Awesome! Thanks!!
