Comment 88 for bug 620074

I just tried clock=acpi_pm and evolution startup performance seems no better. Tonight I'm going to try some quantitative benchmarks on these configurations so that legitimate comparisons can be made.

One thing that I have neglected to mention is that Jens' patch does seem to help overall system interactivity---an application with a high IO load doesn't degrade the latency of the entire system nearly as much---although I have no numbers to support this claim.
