Con Kolivas, who worked on desktop interactivity issues in the past before
storming off in 2007, has posted a new scheduler called BFS. "It was
designed to be forward looking only, make the most of lower spec machines,
and not scale to massive hardware. ie it is a desktop orientated scheduler,
with extremely low latencies for excellent interactivity by design rather
than 'calculated', with rigid fairness, nice priority distribution and
extreme scalability within normal load levels."
