HAHAHAH. Another wasted 2 weeks in my life ;-)
But why does it brake all drivers? Could you please elaborate a bit?

hmm, I am not aware of it, or even I _was_ not aware of it till now.

I'll can bench it, sure. I used CFQ before I switched to AS because I was
curious about AS and as I didn't see a real difference in latency but AS gave
me more throughput, I use AS from now on.
