Don't remember about that specifically, but I agree that at the very least, Con Kolivas' work hasn't gotten the attention it deserved at the time. I distinctly remember running linux 2.6.4-ck1 and 2.6.7-ck4 and these were the most responsive desktop settings I've ever had. I could start a heavy compilation job, and concurrently a heavy disk I/O job, and still have perfect desktop responsiveness. I wish that the kernel that's shipped in my opensuse 11.2 were able to do the same, but it's not.
