habits of make -j4 on uniprocessor and the like, and I expect that those
on CFS and Nicksched would also have similar experiences.
Just plain "make" (no -j2 or -j9999) is enough to kill interactivity
on my 2GHz P-M single-core non-HT machine with SD.
But with the very first posted version of CFS by Ingo,
I can do "make -j2" no problem and still have a nicely interactive destop.
Cool. Then there's clearly a bug with SD that manifests on your machine as it
should not have that effect at all (and doesn't on other people's machines).
I suggest trying the latest version which fixes some bugs.
SD just doesn't do nearly as good as the stock scheduler, or CFS, here.
I'm quite likely one of the few single-CPU/non-HT testers of this stuff.
If it should ever get more widely used I think we'd hear a lot more complaints.
Cheers
