Ingo Molnar Tests New BF Scheduler

[ Thanks to Britta Wuelfing for this link. ]

"Ingo Molnar wasn't quite ready to accept criticism of the performance of his scheduler currently in the kernel compared to the BFS version and put them both to a benchmark test. In his posting he admits that BFS is still in its early stages, but finds Kolivas's code fascinating: 'BFS is an interesting and bold new approach, cutting a _lot_ of code out of kernel/sched*.c, so it raised my curiosity and interest.'"
