hm, i understood that peak remark to be in reference to FreeBSD's scheduler (which the FreeBSD guys are primarily interested in obviously), not v2.6.21 - but i could be wrong. In any case, there is indeed a regression with sysbench and a low number of threads, and it's being fixed. The peak got improved visibly in sched-devel: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/misc/sysbench-sched-devel.jpg but there is still some peak regression left, i'm testing a patch for that.
