Hmm, could you try my scheduler bigpatch and see if
that helps obscenely loaded machines? It could actually
help since the CPU spent on the standard scheduler is
dependant on NR_TASKS and the CPU spent in my scheduler
is dependant only on nr_running and the amount of migration
to/from the runqueue.
As for other scheduling problems, I am willing to help
you out with all of them. I am currently drooling over
the high-end abilities of DU and IRIX and have devised
ways of implementing them in Linux. All I lack is a
testbed :) <hint hint>

I believe there is a patch on www.linuxhq.com. It is
hopelessly out of date but the author will most likely
be able to help you out a bit.
