Ah-ha!  It was the -p0 that was missing.  Now applied and the
pre-emptible kernel is excellent!  The system is vastly more
responsive and, here's the important bit, the PPP link doesn't slow
down any more when I rip CDs.  But the nice side effect is far more
quick screen refreshes when I switch virtual screens in X.

Thanks for the tip.
