SCHED_ULE, A success story

Every so often I see a post about sched_ule and how it performs worse 
than the classic scheduler with some noticeable deficiencies; I wanted 
to offer a recent experience.  This is NOT a comparison to the classic 
BSD scheduler, just a realworld usecase where I think it performed 
fantastically.

I have a NUC11 (well, I had, I will be making another post momentarily 
about that), that I use as a media PC and gaming for my family (it works 
great).  I recently did a poudriere upgrade on it, running full out with 
4? or 8? (I forget the number of cores in the machine, but poudriere was 
using all of them). cores (I don't remember).  Powering a _4k_ display, 
and playing a movie via vlc to 4k upsampling.  Not a stutter.

Flawless.


That's it :)
