If you want a scheduler which supports a mixed load, then the application developer would have to tune that scheduler by providing it with information about which queries where more important than others. If users have explicit transactions, this gets even more complicated.

I would agree. I don't believe there is a one size fit all. Of the three we have in the tree right now, two of them definitely show different performance characteristics on different loads. The third one is nice because it doesn't use threads at all, so it is a bit friendlier for debugging certain types of problems.

That all being said... I am fine with having a scheduler which works better for one particular OS, or even that just runs on a particular OS. There has been some mentioned of the Solaris scheduler so far that is specific to Solaries. If I get a little bit of time, I'll toss it together for others to see. Its a good example of "works better here". If we could do similar schedulers for other OS'es, I would be fine with that.
