Here are contest (http://contest.kolivas.org) results with osdl 
(http://www.osdl.org) hardware for 2.5.61-mm1 with either the as i/o 
scheduler or the cfq scheduler.

So we're getting into a situation where 2.6 will have either server or desktop 
tuning? I guess if one can't fit all (ideal) then this is a good compromise. 
What I don't understand is why the anticipatory scheduler takes longer to 
compile a kernel without any load running? This happened with previous tests 
of the as scheduler too.

These loo fishy, could be some other interaction. I'm consistently
beating 2.5.60-mm1/2.5.61 on io_load here, but that is 2.5.61 base and
not 2.5.61-mm1 base. Could be something odd happening there.

I dont think they're fishy - taken in the mm1 context -. I have tested cfq3a 
without mm1 and it does beat the baseline. See a previous email I posted with 
it.

I didn't mean that you have done something fishy, but that there's a
fishy interaction between -mm + CFQ :)

It is the CPU scheduler patch.  Con has eariler shown that this patch shoots
io_load in the head.  2.5.60-mm1 did not have that patch.

and process_load, and dbench_load :)

Thanks, makes sense.
