[1] "Performance changes between 2.6.13 and 2.6.23"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/25/102

It's the velocity, ctxts/interval, a parameter not recognized by the scheduler.

I said them to put the proposal of putting the counters and velocities fields
to the task's struct for the scheduler can take a good decision, the past month.

More weight in higher ctxts/s for the scheduler=> more interactivity.

[2] "Re: Serious performance regression in Wine applications and Linux 2.6.24.*"
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/25/181

The kernel needed the velocity parameter to gain it: ctxts per interval
(normally ctxts/s or ctxts/minute).

The proposal of the past month was here:

"Please, put 64-bit counter per task and incr.by.one each ctxt switch."

My proposal is free for yours, quasi-bastards, I won't charge you!

There are already counters recording the switches:

I forgot this link, thanks!

It seems that they don't make ++ of counters in each switch ocurr.
I don't know how they record the switches.

The current scheduler don't take the count or the velocity of ctxts

Luck boy ;) !
