Debating the Linux Process Scheduler

An anonymous reader writes "The Linux 2.6.23 kernel is expected around the end of the month, and will be the first to include Ingo Molnar's much debated rewrite of the process scheduler called the Completely Fair Scheduler. In another Linux kernel mailing list thread one more developer is complaining about Molnar and his new code. However, according to KernelTrap a number of other Linux developers have stood up to defend Molnar and call into question the motives of the complaints. It will be interesting to see how the new processor really performs when the 2.6.23 kernel is released."

Guess the scheduler issue should be important... and the debate about what's the best scheduler may be fascinating tough... But wtf sometimes seems to me that people spends lots of time doin' things just because they don't have anything more interesting to do? ... duh.
