Is there an "easy" way to tell what scheduler my OS is using?

Unfortunately not. I looked again, and it seems that CFS was merged into 2.6.23. Anything before that is probably safe, but the vendor may have backported it. If you don't see the settings I described, you probably don't have it.

So I guess Midge had 2.6.18, which predates the merge in 2.6.23.

I honestly don't understand the Linux kernel sometimes. A process scheduler swap is a *gigantic* functional change, and it's in a dot release. I vastly prefer PostgreSQL's approach...
