I noticed that my network performance has gone down from 2.6.22
from   [  3]  0.0-10.0 sec    113 MBytes  95.0 Mbits/sec
to     [  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   75.7 MBytes  63.3 Mbits/sec
with 2.6.23-rc1 (and 2.6.23-rc8), as measured with iperf.

I did a git bisect today and tracked it back to the commit where CFS
was enabled ("sched: cfs core code; apply the CFS core code",
commit dd41f596cda0d7d6e4a8b139ffdfabcefdd46528).  I also compiled a
kernel from
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-sched-devel.git
but things don't improve.

This is on a Thecus N2100, an ARM (Intel IOP32x) based storage device
with a r8169 card, SATA disks and 512 MB RAM.  My config is attached.

What kind of information can I supply so you can track this down?
