Please keep versioning.

We don't want to add more sysctl knobs for the scheduler, we even
removed some. Knob usually means that you want to fix your use case
but the solution doesn't make sense for all cases.

I don't agree that it's always the best choice to migrate a non-idle task 1st.
CPU0 has 1 non idle task and CPU1 has 1 non idle task and hundreds of
idle task and there is an imbalance between the 2 CPUS: migrating the
non idle task from CPU1 to CPU0 is not the best choice

What do you mean by a large number ?

How many CPUs do you have ?

But even 113ms seems quite a large number if there is anything else
but 10 schbench workers and a bunch of idle threads that are running.

Als have you considered enabling sched_feature LB_MIN ?
