You may want to follow what's been happening[1] on the devel list. :)

While I am excited about it, in my own testing I did not notice any 
improvement. I tested opening a large (>5000x5000) JPEG in Firefox and 
running a 3D game. The 3D game becomes choppy while the JPEG image loads 
with or without the wonder patch. Now, this may be a bottleneck outside 
of the kernel, but I do not have a slouch of a system (F14, quad-core 
3ghz w/ 4gigs ram).
