All the programs you run on N900 has probably the same TTY, so you will not see any improvements with this.
This patch all it does is give different priorities to the processes depending on their attached TTY. It helps when you are compiling a kernel or doing an intensive task on the command line or in an XTerm (which uses another TTY), but I hardly doubt anyone is doing this on the N900.

In which processes we should notice a difference after installing this?

I installed your package and see no immediate change in responsiveness. My guess is that it will increase responsiveness in high load situations when I have multiple apps running and the CPU is on high load.

Hi,
I packaged the quick hack mentined in this page: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/11/alter...nel-patch.html
It's working in my N900 the same in my desktop and *should* increase perceived performance in the device but, of course, that's not guaranteed. But as kernel developers have themselves said they used this hack to test their "200 line patch", I think the gain is real.
To install, just install the attached deb AND REBOOT.
TRADITIONAL DEVEL WARNING APPLIES: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE. NOT INTENDED TO REGULAR USERS.
Post here if you think it makes any difference.
