i think the need_resched would be effective.
**** heres something that has not yet resolved in my mind (even for the
NAPI case which was inherited from code that has been there forever).
Theres probably a very simple answer ;->
say we have two machines:
one faster and we decide HZ = 1000 meaning 1ms for a jiffy; the other
slower and we make HZ 100 i.e 10ms jiffy.
Logically, shouldnt the slower machine allocate less time running the
loop since it has less resources? in the above case it would spend 10
times more.
cheers,
