I tested it with below config against 2.6.26-rc1.

CONFIG_CGROUPS=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_DEBUG is not set
# CONFIG_CGROUP_NS is not set
# CONFIG_CGROUP_DEVICE is not set
# CONFIG_CPUSETS is not set
CONFIG_GROUP_SCHED=y
CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_RT_GROUP_SCHED is not set
# CONFIG_USER_SCHED is not set
CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y
# CONFIG_CGROUP_CPUACCT is not set
# CONFIG_RESOURCE_COUNTERS is not set


To make the testing faster, I changed some parameters of volanoMark.
The result of 2.6.26-rc1(CONFIG_CGROUP_SCHED=y) is about 2%~3% less than the one of
2.6.25 (CONFIG_USER_SCHED=y).
