Interesting. I have just source upgraded world and kernel to 7.0 
(Actually 7-STABLE), and I am *not* seeing any jerky mouse issues - in 
fact the desktop experience is if anything better than in 6-STABLE. My 
system is SMP (2 CPUs, not dual core) - so SMP could be a factor.

However I have yet to rebuild userland (X, Gnome etc) - so it will be 
interesting to see if that makes any difference.
