Q/D test of kernels w/wo, with same .config using pipe-test (pure sched)
gives on my box ~590khz with tty_sched active, 620khz without cgroups
acitve in same kernel/config without patch. last time I measured
stripped down config (not long ago, but not yesterday either) gave max
ctx rate ~690khz on this box.

(note: very Q, very D numbers, no variance testing, ballpark)
