I spent hours profiling the networking code, and no, i didnt read all 
the incoming emails in parallel - i read them after that.

I have established it beyond reasonable doubt that the scheduler is 
doing the right thing with the config i've posted. Your "wakeup is two 
orders of magnitude more expensive" claim, which got me to measure and 
profile this stuff, is not reproducible here and this regression 
should not be listed as a scheduler regression.
