No, but it helps some when running two un-pinned busy loops, one at nice
0, and the other at nice 19.  Yesterday I hit latencies of up to 1.2
_seconds_ doing this, and logging sched_debug and /proc/`pidof
Xorg`/sched from SCHED_RR shells.

It doesn't help at all with this oddity while running same:

root@...er: now is
the time
foooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor aall good men to come to the aid of their country

That was a nice 0 shell window.  I'm not a great typist, but I ain't
_that_ bad :)
