That's basically how I see it. There seem to be people who run into
workloads in the middle ground where the scheduler makes a world of
difference. I've never seen one myself, and suspect that some of the
reports of deadline being a big improvement just relate to some buginess
in the default CFQ implementation that I just haven't encountered.
