Early figures, suffering a bit from lack of transparency in the results.
(Using a pinned kbl gt4e)
TLDR;
w/o boosts: busy balancer ('-b busy -R'): Aggregate (normalized) 89.28%; fairness 79.64%
w/ boosts: busy balancer ('-b busy -R'): Aggregate (normalized) 108.92%; fairness 64.72%
Fairness went down (grumble) but that's a large increase in the
multiw-sim throughput.
