Indeed; it seems a bit pointless to mess with the scheduler. In any case it does not control the order in which threads run -- the kernel does that. It only really ensures that one thread runs at any one time. You'd be better off trying out one of the threading tools in 3.3.0 (Helgrind or Exp-drd).
