I have folding@home running in the background at nice 19, which doesn't disturb anything, but when my machine starts up the following happens: - KDE 3.2 boots up, - openoffice quickstart, - KGpg reads a couple thousand keys, - xmms, xosview, background picture, etc load up - about 10 cm worth of applets in the KDE panel start During this time (20-30sec) the mouse pointer jerks from position to position about once to twice a second. My X server runs at priority 0, not -10, as recommended. This has been the case since 2.6.0-test11, but I have the (subjective) impression that under 2.6.1rc1-mm1 and 2.6.1-mm2 it got worse. I am using an Athlon XP 2600+ with 1024MB RAM, Nforce2 chipset, NVIDIA XFree86 drivers. Shall I try vanilla 2.6.1 and compare? Or is this an obvious problem? Thanks! -- Jens Benecke
