@Richard: The easiest way is to try 2.6.36-rc3 is to grab Ubuntu's deb packages from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-rc3-maverick. I don't think the desktop responsiveness patches will affect the load balancing tick, but if you're interested in building a kernel with them, I got the kernel sources from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/linux-2.6.36-rc3.tar.bz2 and the responsiveness patches from the email trail at http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/8/26/327 (it wasn't straightforward; patches 8 and 9 needed modification to work in 2.6.36, and also note that by default the enhancements are disabled).
