if you have n threads in runq and each of them can have m<d (d=max latency
deadline) overhead, you will have to account on d/n slices. This is
typically not possible for larger number of ready threads.

Therefore another aproach would be to make sure the next thread gets a
smaller slice, but then you will have to move around that debit and
distribute it fair, which is the whole problem we face here.

(Besides it is not clear to me if fair scheduling gets the best results, see
the X problem or compare threads vs. process vs. subsystems).
