yes - but the "*32" impacts the rescheduling granularity, the "/32"
impacts the speed of how the key moves. So the total execution speed of
the nice -10 task is still "*32" of a nice 0 task - it's just that not
only it gets 32 times more CPU time, it also gets it at 32 times larger
chunks at once. But the rescheduling granularity does _not_ impact the
CPU share the task gets, so there's no quadratic effect.
but this is really simple to test: boot up CFS, start two infinite
loops, one at nice 0 and one at nice +10 and look at it via "top" and
type 's 60' in top to get a really long update interval for precise
results. You wont see quadratically less CPU time used up by the nice
+10 task, you'll see it getting the intended 1/32 share of CPU time.
