CFS seems to be fair in any situation.
thanks for testing this! Indeed the min-max values and standard deviation look all pretty healthy. (They in fact seem to be better than the other patch of mine against upstream that you tested, correct?) [ And there's also another nice little detail in your feedback: CFS actually builds, boots and works fine on ia64 too ;-) ] Ingo - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
