A k.o criteria for me: Playing ut2004 it generated a lot of statics (sound wise). I consider this a regression in contrast to O(1). Nick's scheduler plays nice as well. For Nick's I have X reniced to -10. Your scheduler doesn't like this, as well: When plaing some tune via xmms and then switching to another (virtual) desktop, I get pops in the sound for fractions of a second. Putting X back to 0 fixes this. But I don't know how to "fix" ut2004 with staircase. :-( Hth, Prakash - 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/
