I did the update of my sources as well and compiled a new world.
Then I started build_world (with SCHED_ULE) as usual - and recognized
the same stuck bahaviour under high load as usual :-( For me there is no
release of pain ...

There was a commit to the ULE code in RELENG_7
approximately 6 hours ago
by Jeff, indicating some speed improvements in ULE
when there's heavy
IRQ activity, and adjustments in the timeslicing
code for threads which
don't utilise timesharing:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/kern/sched_ule.c
Can you update your src-all tree to pull this in,
rebuild the kernel,
and tell us if it behaves better for you?
Thanks Jeff for updates and thanks Jeremy for
notifying the list.
I did following test on the new update of sched_ule.c
on RELENG_7.
I ran the amarok music player as realtime, and another
application named count as a normal process. When the
normal process showing the value of i > 20, the amarok
crashes as it cannot keep up the required audio
supply.
That is, normal process starved the realtime process!
