AFAIK RedHat 8.0 does it per default, together with their "jiffies"
kernel hack makes the system much more responsive.
My guess is they needed to do that in order to run their GnoDE
Desktop at reasonable speed.
After all, their minimum reqiurements are a PII@200, 128MB RAM.
I have had very good expierience with doing it on my "slow"
(Celeron 700) old machine when using GNOME2, as nautilus got faster
since GNOME-1.4, but still not fast enough for serious work.
(I don't need to do it anymore because I now have a dual-CPU machine
so X always has a CPU to use no matter the load.)
I would say if your machine is not up to par with the Desktop you are
using you will benefit from that. On a fast machine, you won't
notice the difference.

mouse and using an USB one. PS/2 eats a _lot_ of interrupts you
know...)
