The Wikipedia pages about schedulers are quite informative. I don't
know _why_ this makes a difference, but it does seem to make a small
one. Even though for a single process (guestfsd) it would seem that
the choice of scheduler should make no difference.
BTW the default scheduler in the guest is 'cfq'.
