Only binary code is counted in bytes, source code is counted in 
lines.

20 KLOC for a full-featured CPU scheduler that does everything 
from simple UP scheduling to thousands of CPUs NUMA scheduling, 
cgroups, real-time and more, is entirely reasonable.

As a comparison the VM is 80+ KLOCS, arch/x86/ is 260+ KLOCs, 
networking is 720+ KLOCS and the FS subsystem is over 1 million 
lines of code.

The scheduler is in fact one of the smaller subsystems.

Thanks,

	Ingo
