The resistance I've seen has been to schedulers that perform more poorly
with < 3 running processes - that being the normal case.
Its also suprisingly hard to find a very simple scheduler that provides
fairness and cache optimal behaviour while working well SMP. Uniprocessor
is easy, uniprocessor with real time isnt too bad, SMP gets tricky.
I'd definitely like to see a better scheduler in the kernel, providing its
as fast for the < 3 processes case too.
