Re: problem with "sched: revert back to per-rq vruntime"?

Here's some times using bash, for example. Let me know if there are some 
other tests I can do.

It shows on vanilla 2.6.28, a huge increase in latency (about 37X to 
39X) starting bash -i when the CPU is loaded with 100% nice tasks, 
relative to idle CPU. But after reverting 
f9c0b0950d5fd8c8c5af39bc061f27ea8fddcac3 the latency increase is not as 
great (about 2X).
