The tests consist of 3 tasks (named LTMM, LTMB and LTBM). The only I/O they do is during init and for logging the results, the rest is just floating point math. There are 3 scenarios: j1 - all 3 tasks run sequentially /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns=3D4000000 /proc/sys/kernel/rr_interval=3D16 j3 - all 3 tasks run in parallel /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns=3D4000000 /proc/sys/kernel/rr_interval=3D16 j3big - all 3 tasks run in parallel with timeslice extended by 2 magnitudes (not run for mainline) /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity_ns=3D400000000 /proc/sys/kernel/rr_interval=3D400 All 3 tasks are run while the system does nothing else except for the "normal" (KDE) daemons. The system had not been used for interactive work during the tests. I'm giving user time as provided by the "time" cmd followed by wallclock ti= me (all values in seconds).

I'm particularly surprised by the wallclock time of scenario j1 and j3 for case LTMM with 2.6.21-cfs-v6 and in particular 2.6.21.1-cfs-v9. I'm not sure what to make of this. Repetitions of this test show these resu= lts to be stable. Also surpising is the wallclock time difference between j1 an= d j3 for LTMM with 2.6.21.1-cfs-v7. Repeating the test does give roughly the same result though. The reproduceable differences between j1 and j3 on 2.6.21.1-cfs-v9 IMO suggests there is something very strange happening. It should not be possib= le for j1 to be faster than j3 because scenario j1 should constitute the "true" time each task requires.
