I have now tried building a few kernels:

2.6.22-14 as-is (i.e., no configuration changes; should be more or less
exactly the same as the shipped Gutsy kernel?): a few hours later I was
able to try it: no perceptible difference

2.6.22-14 fat-trimmed (i.e., only the necessary device drivers for the
laptop, processor as P4/Celeron instead of 386, minimal extras such as
filesystem drivers, etc): no perceptible difference

I then decided to try vanilla 2.6.24-rc2 sources with the new b43 driver
and firmware, with the same "fat-trimmed" .config from the previous try:
was really hopeful here, but much to my chagrin, the results were
exactly the same

One thing I've been seeing some of lately is people finding that
disabling the tickless timer seems to fix a lot of problems, so I tried
it (nohz=off along with highres=off):  same results

Cheers
