not scheduler related?

Parent article: Fixing interactive response in 2.6

Earlier this week, Con posted on LKML that he thinks the problem is not (entirely) related to the new scheduler.

Re: Ingo Molnar and Con Kolivas 2.6 scheduler patches:

"It has become obvious that the problems with interactivity that have evolved in 2.5 are not scheduler related. Just try plugging in all the old 2.4 O(1) scheduler settings into the current scheduler and you will see that it still performs badly. What exactly is the cause is a mystery but seems to be more a combination of factors with a careful look at the way the vm behaves being part of that."
