Don't mix things :)
We're talking only about the CpuHistory token of the scheduler proposed here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/mss.html
This is a bigger ( and not yet complete ) change on the SMP scheduler

I'm currently working on different balancing methods to keep the proposed
scheduler fair well balanced without spinning tasks "too much"(tm).
