Is the cpu scheduler an optional choice? If so, why isn't it there as an option?

I can understand heavy metal not wanting to use it. But if it's obsessively focussed on the desktop, then a lot of people will want it!

Cheers,

In the distant past there were some third party patches to make the CPU scheduler selectable between a bunch of out-of-tree alternatives, if not at boot time then at least in menuconfig. Needless to say mainline rejected the idea wholesale.

yes I agree, desktop users are an important user group. What simple means is there to set up the mailine kernel (non-CK) to provide equivalent performans, esp. responsiveness?
