Yes, i run with SCHED_ULE, the machine is less interactive than with 6.2
when compiling, but, as i said, i don't care much about that. What i really
don't like is panicking, and with 7.0 my machine is perfectly stable.
On the other hand, many tasks run very fast under 7.0, so, overall i am
very happy with this version.
