I don't see how.  Other than the expected nice 19 overrun when nice 0
group blocks, it works fine on my little Q6600 box.

time make -j4 vmlinux (cache hot)

real    2m22.996s  
user    7m6.887s
sys     0m48.999s

echo 0 > sched_autogroup_enabled

time make -j4 vmlinux

real    2m17.052s        (darn, no free lunch)
user    7m5.483s
sys     0m49.415s

echo 1 > sched_autogroup_enabled

simultaneous massive_intr 8 9999 in nice 19 autogroup and
time make -j4 vmlinux in a nice 0 autogroup

real    2m30.863s
user    7m5.363s
sys     0m47.359s

142.996/150.863 = .947  (a tad low)

repeat with 2 kbuild tasks/core to cut nice 0 group's idle time

time make -j8 vmlinux

real    2m24.925s
user    7m16.327s
sys     0m50.807s

142.996/144.925 = .986  (all better)
