Some fairness numbers from tip/master

kernel compiles with even number of threads
/cgroup/a
[dhaval@...dor a]$ time make -j8
real    1m53.033s
user    1m28.785s
sys     0m22.224s

/cgroup/b
[dhaval@...dor b]$ time make -j16
real    1m51.826s
user    1m29.022s
sys     0m21.911s

kernel compile with odd number of threads
/cgroup/a
[dhaval@...dor a]$ time make -j7
real    1m49.441s
user    1m26.962s
sys     0m21.698s

/cgroup/b
[dhaval@...dor b]$ time make -j13
real    1m50.418s
user    1m26.888s
sys     0m21.508s

Running infinite loops in parallel (5 in one group, 2 in another)

8789 - 8793 belong to /cgroup/a
8794, 8795 belong /cgroup/b

When we start.

But these numbers are not very stable. Also it takes a long time (~1min)
to converge here.

The results look really good though.
