Again I think your test is not a valid testcase. Why use two threads for your

And let's not lose sight of things with this one testcase.
RSDL fixes
- every starvation case
- all fairness isssues
- is better 95% of the time on the desktop
If we fix 95% of the desktop and worsen 5% is that bad given how much else
we've gained in the process?
Anyway for my next trick I plan to make -nice values not suck again. So we can
go full circle and start renicing X (only if you so desire) as well like we
used to. I figure that's the only way left to satisfy all requirements to
beat even those last 5%. However for the most part I don't even think
renicing X will be required (and hasn't been prior to this testcase).
Nonetheless unsucking negative nice values is probably worthwhile.
I need time to make it so though. Precious sleep and mood has been destroyed
this week.
