No, that wouldn't make any sense. I just wanted to know that the
option was enabled, because that option really *should* help buffer
other processes from one session that is a CPU hog.

So something is seriously wrong in that situation if other things get
very choppy. Of course, the fact that it apparently happens on one
particular machine only means that it's hard to figure out what
triggers it. Maybe some unlucky combination of cpufreq and thermal
throttling by the hardware, coupled with the scheduler change.

Peter?
