It got worse with kernel 2.6.28, btw, especially mouse cursor movement.
It gets stuck and skips very noticeably. Fortunately, it's not a
point yet where I would describe it as unusable, but if the trend
continues, desktop will be totally unusable by 2.6.31/32 when doing
something that produces load.
Oh pleeeaase...
You have a broken system. Don't blame Linux for that.
Could be. But you don't know for sure :P

I'm currently compiling gcc-4.3.2-r2, I have no cursor lagging, stuck,
or whatever. Everything is normal. Like if I were not compiling at all.
I've just emerged glibc (with -j2). It's especially noticeable with it.
Some source files, especially at the beginning of the build, are very
short and result in a lot processes getting spawned and terminated very
fast, along with files rapidly created on disk. Can you give glibc a test?
I've checked my config and can't find anything wrong. I have tickless,
preempt, 1000Hz, -O2, CFQ. The kernel is stripped off of everything not
needed.
Maybe it's due to fglrx? (ATI Catalyst driver.)
