[OT] Anybody using kernel 2.6.31

I built 2.6.31 from kernel.org and I'm using it now on this F11 box. It's working OK, but when I get a lot of disk I/O going, I see laggy, jerky mouse movement. I've never seen this on a Fedora kernel or home built 2.6.30. I don't hear any audio problems like skipping, just bad mouse behavior
