So as i see the patch in question is being hit in its weakest place by that enormous 10 billion thread benchmark. Indeed that weakest place is the added overhead which effects the heavy scheduling load. I look at it as at absolutely worst case. And even in this worst case we still have a win on a 8-way smp... I`d like to see some more real-life benchmarks on the issue...
Maybe the tester lose the point, cause the patch was not pointed to improve the scheduling itself, but to reduce the loss of improper scheduling - ie cache thrashing.
