good news for all Gentoo users ;)

With the patch and the sysfs-option my system works ok and last but not least
with the expected behaviour compared to a previous kernel.

In addition my first impression is that its responseness is better compared to
previous kernel versions and nearly the same compared to a kernel without
FAIR_GROUP_SCHED .

Compared to kernel 2.6.23 the 1-liner "time factor 819734028463158891" needs
now ~5.61 sec which is a little bit higher than the previous value of 5.44 sec.

Thanks for the solution (BTW b/c FAIR_GROUP_SCHED defaults to "y" I could bet
that more peoples run into this case).
