Kernel Scheduler

[Alex Dean]

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.
