Jon,

Played with scheduler a while ago on a storage benchmark, (don't have the
exact numbers handy) You will not see any noticeable difference during
normal workload. But with overloaded (or fully loaded) systems, deadline
scheduler works better than CFQ. The difference was in the range of 5-8%
IIRC.
