Was there a known regression in 2.6.33 ? at least, I know that for 2.6.34, the CFQ scheduler was improved.
What Phoronix should do is to update Arch to the latest version and see if the regression disappears. That are things like that that would transform a poor article into something interesting: instead of creating a flame war, they could be informative and useful for ALL users and distros (like they did when dissecting the ext4 regressions in the kernel)..

I have not tested Suse yet, but I see no significant difference between Mandriva cooker (development, now in freeze for the 2010.1 version) and Arch, although their schedulers are different (charge on each core is different on both OSes, as shown by gkrellm). Note that the kernel on my Arch machine is a 2.6.34 (the current one) as opposed to the 2.6.33 from the Phoronix test. I don't know if that would be the explanation.

One slight, but obvious mistake in the article:
With our first Bullet Physics Engine test, Arch Linux came out ahead of the four other Linux distributions but it was only faster by the slowest distribution in this test (openSUSE 11.3 RC1) by 5%. The other four Linux distributions performed close to the same speed.
About all the flame wars: when pressing the "comments and discussion" button, I always think: "so, why is this test invalid?" And I always get an answer. So I believe that it's not the tests, but the public that are having issues here.
But yea, the idea of Linux Olympics is rather interesting indeed

I'd just like to take this opportunity to say that I think Arch is okay.

@Mr Elendig
Don't waste your time speaking to an idiot flaming with another one. It's probably some kind of way to feel better or to have a good time for a moment. The one mentioned his lovely Novell, because it produces his lovely mono and another one shows his anti Linux attitude as always.
