Nvidia Linux driver 100.14.11 and Linux kernel 2.6.23

,----[  ]
| Finally, my personal opinion about the new scheduler (still in heavy 
| development) and 3D display performance. Well, one thing's for sure, desktop 
| (compiz) is snappier. Simple tests of cube rotation while the kernel is 
| compiling (on both cores) show that CFS is much better than the old 
| scheduler, cube rotation is much smoother than before.

Linux 2.6.23-rc2 Kernel Performance

,----[ Quote ]
| In this comparison we had used the latest kernel versions in the Linux 2.6.20 
| through 2.6.23 branches at the time of testing, which is the 2.6.20.15, 
| 2.6.21.7, 2.6.22.1, and 2.6.23-rc2 kernels.

| Nick Piggin used 'git bisect' to track a lmbench regression to the main CFS

| Some of the concerns expressed about the Completely Fair Scheduler were

CFS scheduler to appear in Linux kernel 2.6.23

,----[ Quote ]
| And also credit where credit's due, Con Kolivas was the first one to 
| prove via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that it 
| results in better desktop scheduling.

Linux: Linus On CFS vs SD

,----[ Quote ]
| "People who think SD was 'perfect' were simply ignoring reality," Linus 
| Torvalds began in a succinct explanation as to why he chose the CFS scheduler 
| written by Ingo Molnar instead of the SD scheduler written by Con Kolivas.

| This was not a scientific study - only a small test which confirmed what I

Quake 4 On XP, Vista, & Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| However, I spent the extra time and while I was at it had run three
| Quake 4 v1.3 benchmarks in XP, Vista, and Fedora Core 6 (2.6.20 kernel).
| The hardware used was a modest AMD Sempron setup with a NVIDIA GeForce
| 6150 and the NVIDIA 1.0-9755 drivers (the hardware chosen was to
| represent the more common Linux user rather than using an octal-core
| setup). The NVIDIA driver on Vista was 100.65 while the XP version
| was 93.71. Below is the average frame-rate from each test on each
| operating system.
