I've been following "this thread" since Con's .31 announcement - and
the only reference to your test scenario that you've given is that
you're still "having trouble with x/gforce vs two niced encoders",
that you've added "some targeted unfairness", that Con's new scheduler
is "an utter failure" and something about beating it to a bloody pulp.

You haven't detailed what your test actually is or what it's trying to
acheive, nor provided anyone else with the means to reproduce it or
understand any of the behaviour you're seeing. Now if you've done that
in any other thread, consider referencing it instead of worrying about
"repeating yourself endlessly". Otherwise, you're making it pretty
clear that you're just trying to be difficult, rather than being
heard.

Remember, this thread is not only cross-posted, but also exists in a
high-volume mailing list where things aren't as easy to track as in
one's own head.

And for Mark and others who are as confused as I was, this is the
thread that Mike meant to reference:
