O1int 0307010922 for 2.5.73 interactivity
Con, I want to give you Lots of Thanks for the work you're doing with the O1int patches.
Don't you think that we need an option in the kernel to select if we want a Server Kernel or a Desktop Kernel?
With the first one, only throughput is important and in the second one, we can take in all the stuff to improve the interactivity (preempt, 01int, granularity) so we can give more agresive interactivity to the Desktop Kernel.
Is this a sillyness?

Thanks. Hopefully it will all be worthwhile.

A properly tuned scheduler should work in all settings. The granularity patch is the only one which would only benefit the desktop but I'm hoping to make it unnecessary for this patch to be used.

placing this in /proc would be a better idea. The more I watch the whole interactivity debate I think that there is no golden way for server and desktop machines.

This is for what I have said that. Sometimes the people says. "This is good for Desktop, but drops the performance / throughput 20%". Perhaps some people prefer having a true multimedia desktop without skips in the music and video, and less throughput (like i prefer).
But let Con do it's best. I think he knows what is doing ;)
Thanks Con and others!
