With more recent kernels, you don't have to compile your own to select
a different scheduler. It can be done at boot time. (And maybe even
while running by setting a value in /proc. I forget...) I have found
the deadline scheduler the best for database systems. The cfq
(default) scheduler was second. I have no idea for desktops or other
types of uses.
