btw: I've tried the -server images already for this very reason a few days ago: First I had to manually install l-r-m/nvidia-glx-new for it and then the infamous "black window" bug appeared after about 10 open windows already (while I have not seen it on -generic for a long while).
So, "just using the server" image does not seem to be a good solution to work around this regression, IMHO.

I've tried to get the kernel teams attention for (the impact of) this issue a few days after 2.6.24 was available in Hardy and I've found out that the USER_SCHED setting was the reason for boinc causing my system to crawl.
While there's a workaround for boinc now (luckily), it makes Hardy unusable for any other kind of distributed computing clients (by default) or causes issues like outlined above.

Tim, I've thought you were about to enable cgroups for all kernel flavors, after we've talked to you on #ubuntu-kernel a few days ago?!
