I've tried many different workloads, kernel compile (normal -j4), extreme 
kernel compile (-j20) and Browsing/Open Office. GLXGears, Briquolo and 
enemy-territory work relly well under these loads.

I just tried another test with "nice make -j20" and I see latency blips while 
gaming. SD did not have this. Latencies with nice are _worse_ than latencies 
without nice on my system. Playing with sched_load_smoothing does not change 
anything. (I've tested values in the range 1-10)
