If you are like me, in Hardy, quite a bit of time my windows grey out etc waiting for a response. Also if you run synergy, synergyc probably isn’t even close to usable unless you run it as root. Also this causes some audio stuttering.
The problem
Improper configuration of the new kernel scheduler broke a lot of things. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/188226
The good news
If you use ubuntu-server kernel, or have hardy-proposed repository enabled, this resolves it.

I’ve been waiting for this fix. I use synergy at work extensively.

Ah… its so good to know it wasn’t just my system having hiccups!
I made a post in the forums and I was told to buy more ram. Not that it would have hurt as i only have 512 MB. I eagerly await a patch. Sometimes my system would completely grind to halt, literally, for many minutes while it just thrashed the harddrive.

This is good news. I’ve been running synergyc as root since the release of 8.04.
