I guess my point was if we somehow get to an odd number of

And Ingo's point was that when it takes thousands of nanoseconds for a
single context switch, an error of half a nanosecond is down in the
noise.

My concern was that since Ingo said that this is a closed economy, with
a fixed sum/total, if we lose a nanosecond here and there, eventually
we'll lose them all.
Some folks have uptimes of multiple years.
Of course, I could (very likely!) be full of it! ;-)
And won't be using the any new scheduler on these computers anyhow as
that would involve bringing the system down to install the new kernel. :-)
