I know my report is not a benchmark of any kind but I do see a slight improvements when running a full GNOME 3 installation. ipis never go past 10K where they are regularly around 50K without this patch (confirmed with 2 different amd64 boxes). I can't really see any interactive enhancements but I don't think that it's really the point. That said, GNOME 3 is a nice interactive test for that kind of things, it's heavily threaded and currently the performance of the SP kernel outperforms by far the MP one. Please count me as a guinea pig for any scheduler patch because my Desktop machines are become barely usable with an MP kernel since we switched to rthreads and I would really much want to see some improvements in that area. I'll keep running with this (and any other mods) for the upcoming weeks and if I have time to do some real and useful benchmarking or see any regression, I'll let you know. Thanks. -- Antoine
