Mike, I'm not saying RSDL is perfect, but v0.31 is by far better than
mainline. Try this easy test:

startx with the vesa driver
run reflect from the mesa5.0-demos
load 5 cpu-hogs
start moving the mouse

On my desktop, mainline completely breaks down, and no nicing may rescue.

(hmm.. i would think that _renicing_ X would help that)

On RSDL, even without nicing, the desktop is at least useable.

So neither does a good job with this load.
that sorely depends on what you mean by good job.

It seems like what you call a good job is preserving the speed of the
gui(X + apps which uses it) at _ALL_ costs to other stuff.
