I happen to like deadline schedulers, and at least from a kernel perspective, we have a very large set of multithreaded workloads. So I would not make this change without a very serious set of benchmarks under load showing it makes a difference. ___ Le

I haven't made any benchmarks, no. The router that I use is the Turris Omnia which has pretty fast eMMC instead of NOR, so they probably wouldn't be useful to compare to the NOR based stuff. LEDE tends not to write to flash but does write to RAM, which I think is still impacted by the choice of sc
