New description:

 I've already made Pawel aware of it, but wanted it logged, that the new
 scheduler comes with a substantial drop in performance for certain work
 loads. I've timed the Haiku revision before the merge building HaikuDepot
 (after jam clean). These are my timings:

 {{{
 jam -q -j4 HaikuDepot

 Haiku old scheduler:
 real    0m58.340s
 user    2m25.305s
 sys     0m52.408s

 real    0m57.608s
 user    2m25.175s
 sys     0m52.455s


 Haiku, new scheduler:
 real    1m40.426s
 user    2m23.923s
 sys     0m42.496s

 real    1m40.283s
 user    2m23.842s
 sys     0m42.488s


 Linux 12.04:
 real    0m24.603s
 user    1m5.592s
 sys     0m5.376s

 real    0m24.620s
 user    1m5.720s
 sys     0m5.268s
 }}}

 The system time actually improved, but the overall time for the concurrent
 jobs is much worse than before. Looing at ActivityMonitor, the thread
 migration between cores seems to be the problem, because each core peaks
 only for short times, while with the old scheduler, the cores stay peaked.

 Both Haiku images had been compiled with KDEBUG_LEVEL = 0 and the code was
 compiled on a BFS partition that has query support.
