SubjectRe: Overscheduling DOES happen with high web server load.

You won't reduce the cost of goodness. You'll reduce the number of linear
search every sec from 40000 to 4000.

For the record 2.2.8-prex uses goodness in reschedule_idle(). The number
of the not needed schedule() invocation here is of the order of 2/3 every
sec or 10 under heavy load (never tried on 2.2.7 though, so I can't make
comparison).

2.2.8-prex has still some problem in reschedule_idle() (even if the whole
design is _far_ _far_ superior than the 2.2.7 one and I agree with it
_completly_), but at least it won't overschedule ;).
