Twiddle sched_wakeup_granularity_ns or just turn FAIR_SLEEPERS off for
best pgsql+oltp scalability. Pgsql+oltp collapse is delicate. It
doesn't take much to send it one way or the other. Cut preempt a wee
bit, and it can snap right into shape.
I think we need to penalize sleepers a wee bit as load climbs in general
though, everybody begins to like preemption less as load increases.
Mysql+oltp improves as well, and it loves preempt at modest load.
