Hey,

Is anyone else noticing a huge improvement in battery savings with this 
new scheduler? Is it a scheduling thing? In the kernel.

I have an X1 Carbon 5th Gen and it seems to be working better. Default 
is LS. I just have mine set to L. Works fine. Someone will likely have 
to do some apm work to figure out how to tune is so it does different 
wizardry based on thermals and power access.
