Comment 10 for bug 230749

I also wanted to convey that even if this doesn't get fixed for Ubuntu 8.10, I think it would be a bit much to have to wait until October 2010 to finally see this issue addressed in Ubuntu 9.10. It's easy for me to request this without offering the necessary skills to fix it personally, but realistically, other Ubuntu users are experiencing similar issues. Most don't read launchpad or even ubuntuforums and would blame the OS for something they can't explain (gnome-screensaver CPU spike causing frame skipping in vlc). It took me a few weeks to track this down.
