lol - i agree! I've left my kernel alone and loaded up a few server and I'm not seeing the CPU problems like I was before on Intel CPU's on 3111d - with Steam ... I was in AWE when I seen how much better the AMD's did with the AMD Binaries - and so far Steam is matching that on the Intel CPUs. Also note - we're testing like Valve does - just what they release - no plugins/addons, etc... We'll get to that stage once we're certain these binaries are tight. Then get the authors of the plugins to optimize their applications.
