# Top runs: * **Highest FPS**: `LAVD` with considerably higher average FPS compared to others. * **Smoothest FPS**: `Flash` due to the lowest standard deviation and variance, indicating the most stable performance. * **Best overall**: `Flash` because it offers a balanced high FPS with the smoothest performance. # Issues: * The configuration labeled as `BORE` exhibited a significantly lower FPS and higher frame time variance compared to other configurations. This indicates potential inefficiencies when using this scheduler in the given context. * The setup named `p2dq` also underperformed, with FPS considerably lagging behind the majority of the other test runs, suggesting it is not as effective in maintaining high frame rates under this testing scenario. # Summary In this benchmark comparing different schedulers, specifically the `powersave` Linux scheduler, the configurations using different `scx` schedulers (`Bpfland`, `Flash`, `LAVD`, `Rusty`) significantly outperformed the `BORE` and `p2dq` configurations in terms of FPS and frame consistency in Baldur's Gate 3 while simultaneously compiling a kernel. `Flash` stood out as the most stable and high-performing setup, suggesting that selecting this scheduler optimizes the balance between FPS and smooth gameplay under multitasking conditions.
