Subject: Re: The 10ms averager in fair.c

This is just too much code for me to do a quick patch on. It really needs  
to be evaulated with concerns to what an optimal scheduler is. That would  
be to operate on actual system load ofcourse, not a filtered system load  
that doesn`t represent what is actually happening on a computer.

What you can do for the time being is just set it to 1nS. If that doesn`t  
negatively impact anything, then you know it is bogus.

Peace Be With You.
