Deadline versus Anticipatory

question:

which scheduler performs better, deadline or anticipatory?

conclusion:

The differences are small, and likely often within the margin of error of most tests. In the case of loopaes plus raid5 or raid1 deadline does better. In all other cases, it seems a wash.

Positive values mean Anticipatory did better, negative values mean Deadline did better (including for load). The value is the percent better.
