Alright, Just got done with some testing of UT2004 between 2.6.23-rc1
CFS and 2.6.22-ck1 SD. This series of tests was run by spawning in a map
while not moving at all and always facing the same direction, while
slowing increasing the number of loops.

CFS generally seemed a lot smoother as the load increased, while SD
broke down to a highly unstable fps count that fluctuated massively
around the third loop. Seems like I will stick to CFS for gaming now.

Below you will find the results of my test with the average number of FPS.

		CFS		|		SD
UT2004 + 0 loops | 200 FPS		UT2004 + 0 loops | 190 FPS
UT2004 + 1 loops | 195 FPS		UT2004 + 1 loops | 190 FPS
UT2004 + 2 loops | 190 FPS		UT2004 + 2 loops | 190 FPS
UT2004 + 3 loops | 189 FPS		UT2004 + 3 loops | 136 FPS
UT2004 + 4 loops | 150 FPS		UT2004 + 4 loops | 137 FPS
UT2004 + 5 loops | 145 FPS		UT2004 + 5 loops | 136 FPS
UT2004 + 6 loops | 145 FPS		UT2004 + 6 loops | 105 FPS
UT2004 + 7 loops | 118 FPS		UT2004 + 7 loops | 104 FPS
UT2004 + 8 loops | 97 FPS		UT2004 + 8 loops | 104 FPS
UT2004 + 9 loops | 94 FPS		UT2004 + 9 loops | 89 FPS
UT2004 + 10 loops | 92 FPS		UT2004 + 10 loops | 91 FPS
