hum, interesting. Can Con's changes affect the inter-node and inter-cpu balancing decisions, or is this all due to caching effects, reduced context switching etc?
I don't expect we'll be merging a new CPU scheduler into mainline any time soon, but we should work to understand where this improvement came from, and see if we can get the mainline scheduler to catch up. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
