BFS vs. mainline scheduler benchmarks and measurements

Well here we are again. Con does a bunch of development off list, makes a bunch of extravagant claims, goes crying to mamma when anyone actually tests his stuff. "Mingo is invading my private space by actually checking whether my claims are true". Cue hordes of Con fans posting "it seems faster on my xxxx when I do xxxx and xxx".

All this talk about kernel core devs being disconnected from the real world is just people misunderstanding the kernel dev cycle. The stuff mingo is developing is going to be in release distros in six months or so. Six months after that 16 hyperthreaded/8 physical cores on a desktop box is not at all going to be strange. We have some of those where I work.

If Con and his friends actually want to do something useful, they should a)listen carefully to criticism
b)do some careful benchmarking and post reproducable numbers
c)work with Ingo- he actually really knows what he's talking about
