Stock scheduler wins easily, no contest.

What happens when you renice X ?

Dunno -- not necessary with the stock scheduler.
Nicing the "make" helped with RSDL, though.
But again, the stock scheduler "just works" in that regard.

I agree with Ingo -- the auto-renice feature is something
very useful for desktops, and is missing from RSDL.
