Dana, root has even twice the cpu cycles assigned, therefore when using boinc or something similar as "root" it gets even worse for the "user herself". You can also create load using something like "python -c 'while 1: i = 1; i += i'".
Maybe just taking SCHED_IDLEPRIO out of the "cfs main loop" would be a good idea? -- 2.6.24-2: Regression with idle cpu cycle handling https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
