This very possibly has nothing to do with kernel changes, but I've always
felt that the desktop should not need to be unresponsive when some process
is very busy. For instance, I should still be able to pull down menus when
I'm compiling something in the background. In my ignorance, I feel like it
should be possible to reserve 10% of the processor's capacity for these
things.
