The patch seems to work. Cool, that makes a difference like between
night and day. I can't determine any observable effect of untarring the
firefox source anymore to interactive response time (when it's non-disk
bound, of course), where before applying the patch, the mouse cursor
would jump, audio stutter and I could barely type in xterms. Seems to
work perfectly again. Thanks!
