I will say that preemptive scheduling has breathed new life into my PIII 450MHz (and Linux already ran faster than any other OS I've had on it ;-).
The simplest gaming test for me was Enemy Territory since it has native Windows and Linux clients as well as being free and freely available (I suppose the same could go for America's Army but I don't play it :-). I get far better framerates, overall performance and general responsiveness under Linux, especially with kernel preemption turned on (works as advertised!).
