The ck4 performance was actually substantially better than ck3 (on the desktop) so here's hoping you enjoy ck5 which basically performs the same. > > When do you think the staircase, batch, and isometric scheduling will > reach mainline-quality?

Well I think they're all ready for prime time now, I just dont think prime time is ready for it. This is too large a change for mainline 2.6 which keeps -ck in business ;) > How about autoregulated swappiness, which seems to be very efficient at > its job? It's been around for quite a while, and akpm has not expressed any interest in it so I think this will only ever flounder in the -ck domain. Cheers, Con P.S. You seem to have preempted the arrival of my -ck5 announcement to lkml, as will this response. lkml does that sometimes... P.P.S. It's "isochronous scheduling" :P Means "same time". --------------enig9CCB896881A56EEE4B97511F Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFA7BsMZUg7+tp6mRURArDDAJ4nEURB+CJ1L4EhUlFzMPmVbtdJ2gCgkNOT qJs0EfOz18Evw6WB6Rn6YrU= =6hBV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig9CCB896881A56EEE4B97511F--
