Comment 149 for bug 620074

After looking through Alexsandar's kernel I decided to try a new config. Changing my kernel from 250HZ and Voluntary Kernel Preemption to 1000HZ and Preemptible Kernel (Low-Latency Desktop), I can actually open tabs in firefox, new terminals, or SSH into my computer (from itself) without waiting 10-30 seconds. Perhaps there is no bug but this is just expected behavior.

I wonder if it was more of the clock change or the preemption change which made the difference, or both.

For those of you who have this problem what is your HZ and preemption model?
