It's slightly faster still with kernel 2.6.30.rc3, maybe 10% better frame rate in COD4.

What _does_ seem to be an issue with both 2.6.28 and 2.6.30 that wasn't present in earlier kernels is that often the game will run fast but then 'stutter' - fps drops right down - and then recover again. This doesn't happen on a freshly booted machine, only after it has been running for some time. Earlier kernels would either be always fast or always slow (and recover back to being fast after reboot).
