Besides - but I guess you're aware of it - any randomized
algorithms tend to drive benchmarkers and performance analysts
crazy because their performance cannot be repeated. So it's usually
better to avoid them unless there is really no alternative.

That could already solve your concern from above. Statistically
speaking, it will give them (benchmarkers) the smoothest curve they've
ever seen.

Please be aware that I'm just exploring options/insight here. It is
not something I intend to push inside the mainline kernel. I just want
to find reasonable and logic criticism as you and some others have
provided already. Thanks for that!

And having gotten same, are you going to code up what appears to be a solution, based on this feedback?

I'm curious how well it would run poorly written programs, having recently worked with a company which seemed to have a whole part of purchasing dedicated to buying same. :-(
