I regularly test native Linux games on CFS, and they all behave well.
While waiting for more detailed data from Kasper i was looking for
atypical stuff in Kasper's description about what his workload involves,
and what looked a bit atypical was that Kasper's workload also involved
gaming under Wine:

and Wine is a more complex server/client scenario instead of a single
(and simple) standalone Quake3 binary that the Linux binary does. So it
looked more interesting from a scheduler workload (and scheduler
regression) POV. In any case i'll need more info from Kasper.
