Yes *laugh*, I found a very lengthy and mind-boggling discussion from
back in 2011. And I found that You made this statement somewhere there:
// With nCPU compute-bound processes running, with SCHED_ULE, any other
// process that is interactive (which to me means frequently waiting for
// I/O) gets ABYSMAL performance -- over an order of magnitude worse
// than it gets with SCHED_4BSD under the same conditions. --

And this describes quite exactly what I perceive.
Now, I would like to ask: what has been done about this issue?
