Hi, is there any guide as to what scheduler is best for what purposes? I have used CFQ since the early days as I was rather unhappy with the performance of 2.6 as against 2.4, but I am finding the latest 2.6 kernels do not seem to be running as well as the earlier ones with this scheduler - so I presume there have have been changes/improvements etc that may mean I need to reassess what I am using.
