I have added cfs15 to the chart at
http://www.tmr.com/~davidsen/sched_smooth_05.html and updated the source of the
test at http://www.tmr.com/~public/source if anyone wants to run test on their
hardware.
I feel that on my hardware cfs-13 was the smoothest for this test and
for watching videos. Even relatively light load:
nice -10 make -j4 -s
of a kernel would cause jumps on the video, gears or youtube.

ah, found this bug i think! Does the patch below fix it for you and does
it bring back v13's smoothness for the reniced kernel build?
