Excellent testresults obtained with the N6B patch

I increased the size of the GIF to better show the scheduling jitter.

I ran 2 sorts of tests :
- bonnie (disk benchmark) with a filesize of 1GB
- a kernel compilation ( make dep ; make clean ; make bzImage)
In both tests the peaks are about 2.9ms and are very sporadic.
Most of time the jitter stays into +/- 500usec range

I ran all tests with a CPU utilization of 10% and 80% (to simulate a CPU intensive realtime audio-processing app)
and all tests gave the same excellent results.

Bonnie tests

CPU load = 10%

test1 test2

CPU load = 80%

Kernel compilation tests

On PII boxes plus decent (DMAed) EIDE harddisks you should be able to reproduce these good results.
