I'va always wondered what people are using to measure interactivity. Do we have
some hard numbers from scheduler traces, or is it a "feels faster"?
I guess it's a "feels faster", because it's the only thing that
counts. Given that there is strong evidence that scheduler A is
"faster, more interactive", whatever... than scheduler B, but a
controlled trial shows a significantly better "feels faster"
experience using scheduler B, I'm quite shure that people would choose
scheduler B over A, and that's quite ok. It does what they expect it
to do, despite evidence which documents the opposite.
