Measuring the performace of a parallelized kernel compile with warm caches
on a 8 way NUMA-Q box. Highmem support is turned OFF so I'm only using
the first 1Gb or so of RAM (it's much faster without HIGHMEM).

prepare:
make -j16 dep; make -j16 bzImage; make mrproper; make -j16 dep;

measured:
time make -j16 bzImage

2.4.18-pre7

330.06user 99.92system 1:00.35elapsed 712%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k

2.4.18-pre7 with J6 scheduler

307.19user 88.54system 0:57.63elapsed 686%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (399255major+484472minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Seems to give a significant improvement, not only giving a shorter
elapsed time, but also lower CPU load.
