Parent article: BFS vs. mainline scheduler benchmarks and measurements

Con: Hello, I'm back! I'm still just as passive-aggressive as before, but I've got some new ideas!

Mingo: That's interesting. Here are some benchmark graphs for use cases that are measurable. You are welcome to suggest others and send patches.

Con: You've invaded my personal space! I don't want a considered response, all I wanted was an audience!

The Intertubes: Yah! We can get all worked up about things nobody can measure and hardly understand ourselves! All over again!

Lwn.net trolls: Here is an ad hominem attack on that fool noob Igno whats-his-name. He cannot even get his images size right! LOL

Mingo: Here are some more graphs for fewer cores. Still looks the same.

hehe, priceless. Now wait for the trolls to decent upon your ass :D

I do think Con regularly does very cool things with his scheduler work,
btw. He did kick start (ok, inspire) the work which lead to our current
default scheduler, remember...

You are of course right. Which makes it all the more tragic that his lack of agreeableness robbed him of his due recognition and continued contribution.
