That was an entirely different case, have you even been following the thread?
OFCOURSE you're going to see slowdowns on a UP system if you have a cpu hog and then run something else, this is the only behavior possible, and bfs handles it in a fair way.
when i said we needed no tunables, that was for running a _SINGLE_ application, and then measuring said applications performance. (where BFS indeed does beat CFS by a quite large margin)
and as for CFS, it SHOULD exhibit fair behavior anyway, isnt it called "completely FAIR scheduler" ? or is that just the marketing name?
