I haven't run many tests on it - my mind blanked when I tried to
remember the scores of scheduler "exploits" thrown around. So if
anyone would like to suggest some, or better still, run some,
please do so. And be nice, this isn't my type of scheduler :P
I timed a pathological benchmark from hell I've been playing with lately.
Three consecutive runs following a fresh boot. Time is in seconds:
2.4.21 821 21 25
2.6.0-test3-mm1 724 946 896
2.6.0-test3-mm1-nick 905 987 997
Runtime with ideal scheduling: < 2 seconds (we're thrashing).
