Re: [PATCH] Interactivity bits

Hello,

here is the latest version of my simple patch.
I increased INTERACTIVE_DELTA to 4 as told me
Mike Galbraith, he also explained to me why
the p->state == TASK_INTERRUPTIBLE test was a bad thing.

The previous patch against -mm3 was an accident, it
messed my tweaks with Con's work and it was... cough
not tested...

I'd appreciate any feedback.
Thanks.

Guillaume
