[gentoo-user] Kon Colivas is working again on a new scheduler for Desktop/Multimedia/Gaming PCs

I recently stumbled upon an LWN article that mentioned Con Kolivas is 
working on a new kernel scheduler for Desktop/Multimedia/Gaming PCs
called "BFS":

Well, I've tried it.  I wrote my experiences with it here:

If you're feeling adventurous, you might want to give that one a try. In 
my case, it helped immensely, especially with sound latency and skips 
and other artifacts during real-time playback (I was not using an RT 
kernel before that though).  Note that BFS has been updated to 0.206
since I wrote that.

The patch to kernel 2.6.30 and docs can be found at:
