Let me restate the fact, if it wasn't obvious enough, that most people who tried RSDL (and most of them use desktop systems, me including) never see any regressions compared to mainline. Quite contrary -- their impressions were that with RSDL desktop system runs more smoothly, even under fierce load, which was never possible with mainline scheduler.
