i'm pleased to announce release -v10 of the CFS scheduler patchset.
(The main goal of CFS is to implement "desktop scheduling" with as
high quality as technically possible.)

The CFS patch against v2.6.21.1 (or against v2.6.20.10) can be
downloaded from the usual place:

-v10 got a bit bigger than usual. One reason for that is that i couldnt
resist the fine enhancements contributed by Peter Williams and Mike
Galbraith. Peter fixed and improved nice level support and SMP
load-balancing, while Mike applied his "no compromises" interactivity
tuning skills to CFS:

6 files changed, 247 insertions(+), 110 deletions(-)

the main user-visible change should be that CFS's 3D gaming performance
and 'smoothness' should be significantly improved in -v10. This was the
main remaining regression reported for -v9 (and for CFS in general).

Ciao Ingo,
care to share some more information regarding how you fixed the "3D
gaming performance" issue?

Thanks!

Regards,
Paolo
