this is not the issue. the issue is that volanomark is specifically designed to create unrealistically long runqueues. the question is whether there are real applications (NOT volanomark in loopback mode) that have many thread which only synchronize with themselves, and do not spend most of their time blocked on IO.
the normal case is short runqueues, so a low-latency scheduler is the right optimization choice. if it becomes clear that some real apps are causing long runqueues, we can add code.
