Visiting the source of the scheduler in 2.0.28, I wondered over
something:

If I understand things right the following happens: When all the
process counters (the jiffies left) are zero, the counters are
reloaded, but the idle task is run anyway before a new candidate to
schedule is selected. Shouldn't that be optimized?
