From 21406928afe43f1db6acab4931bb8c886f4d04ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:17:15 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sched: Tweak sched_latency and min_granularity Allow LAST_BUDDY to kick in sooner, improving cache utilization as soon as a second buddy pair arrives on scene. The cost is latency starting to climb sooner, the tbenefit for tbench 8 on my Q6600 box is ~2%. No detrimental effects noted in normal idesktop usage.
