VERY VERY subjective answer, yes, CURRENT seems snappier as has been
said before.  (I was using ULE and PREEMPTION in 5.4)

(However, I have some cheap onboard video card, using the via driver).
Things like frozen bubble for instance, just seem snappier, even on this
low-end machine, 1.2 gig processor 512 megs DDR vs my main 5.4
workstation, 3 gig processor, a gig of DDR.  


Again, very subjective--both machines are lightly loaded, really just
workstations.
