Compiler? CPU?
Perhaps some subsystem along the way sees that fair scheduling would
take much longer.
The longer time is an artifact of my use of sched_yield to acheive the result, not a requirement of fairness per sa, but
in a way you are right - the programers that wrote the kernel did the optimization by not bothering to deal with things
that don't happen in the real world that cost a lot to deal with :-)
