Hi there,

fedora is currently improving Xorg performance with some simple patches
to remove unneeded delays etc. More info can be found here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/OneSecondX

So why not use this stuff in Arch too :)

The patches are _very_ simple and should be easy to maintain. I have attached
two tarballs with PKGBUILDs for xf86-input-keyboard and xf86-input-mouse which
contain these patches, and they are working fine for me...

There is also another patch for xf86-video-ati, but i havent tested it as i
dont own an ATI card...

I guess the first two patches are pretty safe, but try for yourself :)

Greetings

Jan
