ah, interesting. Since you have CONFIG_SCHED_DEBUG enabled, could you please try to figure out what the best value for /proc/sys/kernel_sched_latency, /proc/sys/kernel_sched_nr_latency and /proc/sys/kernel_sched_min_granularity is? there's a tuning constraint for kernel_sched_nr_latency: - kernel_sched_nr_latency should always be set to kernel_sched_latency/kernel_sched_min_granularity. (it's not a free tunable) i suspect a good approach would be to double the value of kernel_sched_latency and kernel_sched_nr_latency in each tuning iteration, while keeping kernel_sched_min_granularity unchanged. That will excercise the tuning values of the 2.6.23 kernel as well.
