    I thought he had quit for good in 2007. Is this still relevant?

        Can you run some benchmarks?

          Nope, they used to, but not anymore. What they do have is BFQ.

            Which even though it may look like the same thing is actually different right?

              BFQ is a I/O scheduler (HDD/SSD access)
              BFS a process scheduler (assigning CPU time to processes)

              BFS is quite nice if you intend to use the system while some CPU heavy process is running. (like compiling on all cores)

                It would only be interesting if the benchmark was about responsiveness and not pure performances, which is rarely the case...

                  I agree with this request...the last benchmarks on BFS are very old (and many changes has been made on the Kernel and on the cfs scheduler).
                  I would like to see through scientific tests if BFS is still useful for desktop/low latency system.

                  Many thanks for your very appreciated site!

                    I stopped using BFS because it doesn't support CGROUP_CPUACCT and CGROUP_SCHED, which I need for Docker. Has this somehow changed?
