We've fixed a lot of regressions and made a lot of other changes to the scheduler since .23. Could you please try the backport of the latest scheduler on top of .23 to see if any of our recent work solved your problem? (using a backport against .23 or even .22 allows you to test just the scheduler changes in isolation) http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/sched-cfs-v2.6.22.13-v24.patch http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/sched-cfs-v2.6.23.9-v24.patch Also, it could be dbench is one of those benchmarks that favours unfairness, I seem to remember so.. still we should not regress too much without a very good reason. -- 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/
