we could try this in -mm, but it obviously needs alot of testing first. Do you have any particular workload in mind where the fairness win due
to this revert would/should be significant?

Since I created this variable in the first place I can say with quite some certainty that the size of the advantage is miniscule. Whereas clearly the design introduces special case mistreatment of only one type of task. It's an addition to the interactivity code I've often looked at and regretted doing.
