I attempted to find reliable benchmarks or even an idea as to what they thought they were measuring, because a sentence like the following: Tests done by Mike show the maximum latency dropping by over ten times and the average latency of the desktop by about 60 times. ...isn't mathematically possible, I'm pretty sure. Frankly, I'm also turned off by the attempt to popup a full page ad in addition to the rest of the advertising content which surrounds what is nominally supposed to be the real content. That doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the patch or the notion of adjusting the scheduler, but I don't see any value added from these phoronix.com links.
