osdl hardware, contest results, 2.5.52-mm2 with scheduler tunable - exit weight (ew1= exit weight ==1 and so on)

It seems with these results at least, benefit is gained from it being on versus off. The actual value seems not important wrt contest.

Can you please try another thing?

Remove these please and run again.

In spite of worrying reports of decreasing single task performance, does it make sense to add "null_load" test? ;)

I've simplified the data. There is no significant difference in the no_load groups with changes to the scheduler tunables over useful ranges.
