** Description changed: The Completely Fair Scheduler - CFS - is the new default scheduler for Linux which brings long overdue and significant improvements in performance and desktop interactivity over the previous default scheduler. It makes it's official debut as the default scheduler in Linux 2.6.23 but Gutsy will be using a 2.6.22 based kernel. Ingo Molnar, the chief author, has posted patches for older kernels, including 2.6.22, so they can take advantage of the new scheduler: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/ More information on the scheduler design: http://people.redhat.com/mingo/cfs-scheduler/sched-design-CFS.txt General information / CFS-related news, many posts including benchmarks: - http://kerneltra.org/CFS + http://kerneltrap.org/CFS The new scheduler is vastly superior and outperforms the currently version in all known meaningful benchmarks. It has no known regressions or bugs. Using the 2.6.22.5 CFS patch, will CFS make it into Gutsy? Is there any reason _not_ to apply it?
