I find that hard to believe if we're talking about the same person
complaining. His problem can never be fixed by CFS, unless CFS
automatically would renice his X, or would introduce unfairness some
other way.
CFS will cause regressions, because it doesn't do unfair scheduling -
which is what users have come to expect. There is no way around it.
Besides, CFS does worse on 3D gaming compared to SD and mainline, and ppl
will complain about that as well.
Note that I'm happy CFS got in mainline, as far as I can tell, it has a
superior design. It's just that the mentioned reasoning for the choice
doesn't work for me...
Maybe this is worth reading, if you didn't already.
