Sorry, I don't quite understand... are you saying that a 100% fair scheduler actually *is* the best scheduler? If so, then would you have any evidence/research to back this up? I'm genuinely interested.

My uneducated view: in schedulers, as with government and parenting, 100% fairness is unattainable and probably paradoxical. The best policy may or may not be the most fair policy. They're simply disconnected.
