I ran with SCHED_ULE for a couple days recently and had trouble beyond just 
sluggishness. When doing really intensive tasks such as buildworld or 
installworld, the computer would actually stall. The first time was 
immediately after booting single user after building the world and kernel. I 
started and installworld, and it hung there until I did a hard reset. 
Horrible timing for it, but such is life. Later (after I fixed the damage 
from the partial install) it hung when doing my buildworld, so I booted up 
on a different (SCHED_4BSD) kernel to do the buildworld (subsequently 
switching back to SCHED_4BSD). If you want any particulars about my system 
just let me know.
