thanks for testing it! I was quite worried about your setup - two tasks
using up 50%/50% of CPU time, pitted against a kernel rebuild workload
seems to be a hard workload to get right.

great! Please send patches so i can add them (once you are happy with
the solution) - i think your workload isnt special in any way and could
hit other people too.
