I timed a pathological benchmark from hell I've been playing with lately.
Three consecutive runs following a fresh boot. Time is in seconds:

2.4.21			821	21	25
2.6.0-test3-mm1		724	946	896
2.6.0-test3-mm1-nick	905	987	997

Runtime with ideal scheduling: < 2 seconds (we're thrashing).

If anybody has thrashing test cases closer to the real world, I'd be very
interested to learn about them.
