@Carey:

thanks for the commands !


@Lin Ming:

I also have to apologize for the delay, I had much stuff to
repartition, reformat and re-sync during the week and finally
yesterday & today - after finishing that - I could do some testing

that patch works wonderfully - thanks a lot !


the system with 3.3 is significantly more responsive :)

so if there are no reservations against the patch please include it
for final and/or .1 kernel-release of 3.3



on a related note: I had one observation though (non-related to the
mentioned issue)

with or without the patch my computer doesn't turn itself off anymore,
if I remember correctly that didn't happen with rc3 (I could be wrong
though)

anyone else had the same issue ?

to not further delay the final release by this "minor" issue - I'll
test again once final is out and see whether there it's the same

and if that's the case I'll write again & provide you with further
information that you'll need


Awesome work as always, thanks !

Kind Regards

Matt
