Another thing that might could help: A lots of people are using notebooks and modern processors like core2duo. I, for example, run 2.6.22-14-amd64-generic... but would't be a tickless kernel be quiete better?! Yes, but it's not available yet for amd64. I tried to install that 2.6.22-14 and recognized that WakeUps are still the same (400-500) and that my nvidia-module wasn't loaded. I checked out the stable 2.6.23 with prepatch 2.6.24 and I got less than 10 Wake-Ups per second. This tickless kernel for amd64 is highly important. Maybe in a short time, you should consider making amd64 the most important release because neither AMD or Intel build 32bit chips anymore. Furthermure I personally recommend to make color reformation for ubuntu, I can't find out why somebody should like orange, it's quiete awful, as I firstly downloaded it, the main point that i was thinking about, was changing themes and colors.

So let me sum up a bit:
1. Tickless AMD64 Kernel <--- I thought it should came with gutsy :(
2. Compiz Upgrade / Compiz Profile Presets
3. Speech Recognition <--- This would be amazing.

One thing i miss too is the AMD64 support of VBox, i can't manage to install amd64 on the virtual mashine. I rely on it.

These four will take us nearer to fix this bug.
