The Linux kernel process scheduler, as you know it, has been completely ripped out and replaced with a completely new one called Completely Fair Scheduler. How fair it will be, remains to be seen. Here's what its original creator Ingo Molnar says: "80% Of CFS's design can be summed up in a single sentence: CFS basically models an 'ideal, precise multi-tasking CPU' on real hardware." Learn more about the new scheduler from the CFS design document.

Cmon.. this is exactly what i expected from the FreeBSD community. Linux does *not* have problems scaling past 8 cores. This was a MySQL only thing. Postgres for example scales fine. And do you think Oracle would be pushing Linux so hard if it would not scale? Give me a break... Please read my message earler in this thread.. And ULE in FreeBSD 6.x is *CRAP*. Even the author admits that. Please check the facts!
