I tested CFS with massive_intr. I did long term, many CPUs, and many
processes cases.

Test environment
================

- kernel: 2.6.21-rc6-CFS
- run time: 300 secs
- # of CPU: 1 or 4
- # of processes: 200 or 800

Result
======

+---------+-----------+-------+------+------+--------+
| # of | # of | avg | max | min | stdev |
| CPUs | processes | (*1) | (*2) | (*3) | (*4) |
+---------+-----------+-------+------+------+--------+
| 1(i386) | | 117.9 | 123 | 115 | 1.2 |
+---------| 200 +-------+------+------+--------+
| | | 750.2 | 767 | 735 | 10.6 |
| 4(ia64) +-----------+-------+------+------+--------+
| | 800(*5) | 187.3 | 189 | 186 | 0.8 |
+---------+-----------+-------+------+------+--------+

*1) average number of loops among all processes
*2) maximum number of loops among all processes
*3) minimum number of loops among all processes
*4) standard deviation
*5) Its # of processes per CPU is equal to first test case.

Pretty good! CFS seems to be fair in any situation.
