I really really wonder why I don't experience this behaviour. For me, the best
scheduler patch in the past was the one from you. I had a test last night
with 011.1 and I rebooted into 2.4 back after some hours of testing because
it is unusable for me under load, and it is no heavy load, it's just for
example a simple "make -j2 bzImage modules".

What makes me even more wondering is that 2.6.0-test1-wli tree does not suck
at all for interactivity where no scheduler changes were made.

Maybe we need both: VM fixups (we need them anyway!) and O(1) fixups so that
also my machine will be happy ;)
