Hi all,
here goes the results of contest0.37 against:
2.4.19
2.4.19-0.24pre4
2.4.19-ck7
2.5.32-mm2-Nopre
2.5.38-mm2
The goal of this test is compare preemption ON against preemption OFF
-mm2 io_load was repeated 6 times, then I added the average.
Pay attention that the results are passed through
sort.
Comments, suggestion are more then welcome.

This is something I'm well aware of. Since ck7 has some of the performance
things that increase file IO, it makes ck7 prone to the write starves read
problem in 2.5.38 (and fixed in mm2+). There isn't a fix that has been ported to
2.4.x (obviously real 2.5.x development has taken precedence).

Ok I've done a quick statistical analysis on your data which hints that preempt
is worse than no preempt:
The probability of this result, assuming the null hypothesis, is 0.057
NoPre:
Mean = 191.
95% confidence interval for Mean: 179.9 thru 203.0
Standard Deviation = 11.0
Median = 194.
Average Absolute Deviation from Median = 9.12
Pre:
Mean = 212.
95% confidence interval for Mean: 182.9 thru 240.5
Standard Deviation = 27.4
Median = 200.
Average Absolute Deviation from Median = 16.7
In Summary there isn't a statistically significant difference in these numbers.
