OK, here's some results for you:

Dual PPro/180 running 2.1.79-SMP:
SCHED_OTHER class: 56 microseconds
SCHED_FIFO class: 3 microseconds

Dual PPro/180 running 2.1.79-UP:
SCHED_OTHER class: 40 microseconds
SCHED_FIFO class: 2 microseconds

Dual PPro/180 running 2.0.33-SMP:
SCHED_OTHER class: 14 microseconds
SCHED_FIFO class: 7 microseconds

Dual PPro/180 running 2.0.33-UP:
SCHED_OTHER class: 9 microseconds
SCHED_FIFO class: 4 microseconds

BTW: what news on my MTRR patch?
