Hi,

Thanks to LKML discussion there's an interesting switch found that
reportedly makes CFS behave as good as BFS for typical desktop workloads.

Read all the details at [1] and to try it on your devices, simply do:

mkdir /debug
mount -t debugfs none /debug
echo NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS > /debug/sched_features

It will magically solve all the problems but i hope it can improve
experience at least somewhat.
