[plug] [rant] 2.6 Kernels

[Marc Wiriadisastra]

I believe the schedutils are ported back to the 2.4 kernel and if 
installed will improve the scheduling in the kernel.  Also if the kernel 
is recompiled you can improve it further.  The only reason I know this 
is because I've tested it out since if your running something other than 
databases the 2.4 kernel /should/ be recompiled with the schedutils so 
taskset and all of thats in it.
