Yes, it will give us better benchmarks ;-)

Damn! I know that. Thanks, will fix.

I need to add a comment at the top to state that this function can
do this. Now is it OK with the current caller? I need to look more
closely. I might need to change where this is actually called.
As stated, this hasn't been tested. But you are right, this needs to be
looked closely at.

Hehe, that's one of the clean ups that need to be done ;-)

OK, will do. Note, that this is where we need to see if it is ok to
release the runqueue lock.

Thanks for taking the time to look it over.
