The original post was about the reliability and performance of the
various available kernel scheduler and threading library options.

I mentioned that SCHED_ULE and libkse have done two nasty things to me
in the past:

1) Panic my box when I start JBoss.
2) Lock IntelliJ IDEA.

Since IntelliJ is a multithreaded Java application, the stability of the
scheduler and the threading library have quite a lot to do with it. :-)

I think I may have misunderstood your question.  That, or you
misunderstood my assertion, which is simply "SCHED_ULE and libkse are a
reasonable combination lately".

Ciao,
