Hi Ingo,
I am running the sched-devel tree (at HEAD
44e770a8750abc7e876076cda718b413bad9e654) and it is not looking good.
I am running two "make -j"s for the kernel in two different cgroups and
interactivity is going for a toss. I can see noticable lags in
keypresses.
Will get down to debugging it further a bit later on.

Some more numbers, with exact scenario
1. Mount the cgroup
2. Make 3 groups
3. Start kernbench in each group
4. Start chew.
This is the chew output from the root cgroup
[root@llm11 dhaval]# ./chew2
pid 29345 preempted 544115 us after 1560 us
pid 29345 preempted 588109 us after 3935 us
pid 29345 preempted 632122 us after 3941 us
pid 29345 preempted 794259 us after 3954 us
pid 29345 preempted 972163 us after 3963 us
pid 29345 preempted 1024219 us after 3942 us

Is there anything to compare this data against? Was it better earlier,
if so which release?
