It worked but was a bit too major to stick in the normal
release.  It knew about oversubscribing and would relegate
anything that didn't have the focus to best effort.

It had the advantage of being able to have many things
going and the one you were most interested in to have
all the resource it wanted.  It scheduled not only cpu
but other resources as well.

At one point I started sticking it into the main line
but the related changes were a little too pervasive
for me so I backed out.

Now we have a real time scheduler that pb(peter bosch)
did to handle mpeg streams and other goo.  I haven't
used it but it is in our main stream so it'll at least
see the light of day someday.

A while back Eran Gabber had a usenix paper on an improved scheduler.
Did that work out well enough?
