I never said it _was_ the scheduler. But that's the thing that picks when and where other things get executed, so it seems a reasonable place to start. However, I didn't come across any particularly damning info in the docs and IIRC CFS is the only scheduler available as of somewhere in the 2.6.24-26 range. So, there isn't really a whole lot we can do about it even if it was the problem.
