Public bug reported: I am using the amd64 version of Ubuntu using the generic kernel. I have an Intel Series 4 mobile chip. I notice that under some circumstances, namely logging in and starting up a program using wine, my mouse movement begins to slow as well as any window drawing. It makes the interface hard to interact with though it clears up the moment the desktop is fully logged in or the wine program fully loads. This only happens when they are starting up.
I have found if I use the preempt kernel, or custom compile a kernel with a higher hz such as 300 or 1000, this does not occur (at least so much less it is hardly noticeable). I did a test compiling a kernel with 1000hz and no preemption at all and this did not occur, so it has nothing to do with voluntary preemption. I will test a kernel from the mainline ppa soon; though I assume the results will be the same.
