504.87user 32.13system 2:18.03elapsed 389%CPU
505.94user 32.29system 2:17.87elapsed 390%CPU

505.02user 32.02system 2:17.96elapsed 389%CPU
506.69user 31.96system 2:17.82elapsed 390%CPU
505.70user 31.84system 2:17.90elapsed 389%CPU


Again, for comparison 2.6.21-rc7 mainline:

508.87user 32.47system 2:17.82elapsed 392%CPU
509.05user 32.25system 2:17.84elapsed 392%CPU
508.75user 32.26system 2:17.83elapsed 392%CPU
508.63user 32.17system 2:17.88elapsed 392%CPU
509.01user 32.26system 2:17.90elapsed 392%CPU
509.08user 32.20system 2:17.95elapsed 392%CPU

So looking at elapsed time, a granularity of 100ms is just behind the
mainline score. However it is using slightly less user time and
slightly more idle time, which indicates that balancing might have got
a bit less aggressive.

But anyway, it conclusively shows the efficiency impact of such tiny
timeslices.
