Nikos Chantziaras and Jens Axboe reported that turning off
NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS improves desktop interactivity visibly.
Nikos described his experiences the following way:
" With this setting, I can do "nice -n 19 make -j20" and
still have a very smooth desktop and watch a movie at
the same time. Various other annoyances (like the
"logout/shutdown/restart" dialog of KDE not appearing
at all until the background fade-out effect has finished)
are also gone. So this seems to be the single most
important setting that vastly improves desktop behavior,
at least here. "
Jens described it the following way, referring to a 10-seconds
xmodmap scheduling delay he was trying to debug:
" Then I tried switching NO_NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS on, and then
I get:
Performance counter stats for 'xmodmap .xmodmap-carl':
9.009137 task-clock-msecs # 0.447 CPUs
18 context-switches # 0.002 M/sec
1 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec
315 page-faults # 0.035 M/sec
0.020167093 seconds time elapsed
Woot! "
So disable it for now. In perf trace output i can see weird
delta timestamps:
cc1-9943 [001] 2802.059479616: sched_stat_wait: task: as:9944 wait: 2801938766276 [ns]
That nsec field is not supposed to be that large. More digging
is needed - but lets turn it off while the real bug is found.
