Or something like that, yes. :-)

I was trying to make the point that the weighted load stuff provides
useful data for implementing nice (in a number of ways e.g. see spa_ebs).

Also, now that the old time slices are gone, a simpler more efficient
function for mapping RT priority or nice (as appropriate) to
p->load_weight can be used instead of the current one which uses the
time slice the task would have been allocated as a basis. I'd suggest
the function that the current one replaced. (Because it was mine :-)).
