It's probably worth mentioning that this scheduler shows a not insignificant improvement in the mysql test case that recently received a lot of publicity. Why exactly that's the case I'm not sure but it may help track down what is actually responsible for the performance drop off as well. Note that the SMP balancing of this cpu scheduler is essentially unchanged from the mainline one. -- -ck - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
