I can confirm this, too. GNOME 3 generated around 80.000 to over 100.000 ipis, by simply moving the mouse cursor over the menu entries for a few seconds! The desktop felt "sluggish". With this patch, the same procedure feels less sluggish, and the ipi count dropped down to 9.000 to 15.000. Further, the time it takes to compile the kernel more than halved from ~10min to 4,27min. And, the best of all, the first time I'm able to watch html5 embedded videos smoothly, even in full screen mode.
