Hi Bill,

thanks, but unfortunately that didn't help,

with 2.6.23-rc8 it's already set to 29,
it happens with 2.6.23-rc8 & with the new scheduler

what I found out so far:

it definitely is using 3D acceleration:

it's some kind of AIGLX:
GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap -> nvidia-native handling of compiz

* there are no problems with the metacity window manager

* it only occurs with compiz being enabled

* and it also happens with disabled "fair group cpu scheduler" (with
the new scheduler)

so it might be a problem with either the graphics driver (tainted !)
or the window manager (compiz),
compiz-fusion 0.6 will be out soon so I'll check it out if that will help

if it gotten clear until now:
the old & new cfs scheduler work perfectly fine:
no hickups & the like with default window manager (== metacity)

so the problem might be somewhere else

I'll collect scheduler configuration with the script posted by Ingo in
the next following days

(pretty busy right now)

thanks
