Thanks that was good feedback.  Our concern is on heavily loaded systems to 
maintain expected performance.

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.

Has anybody played around with changing the Linux I/O scheduler when using ASM 
(11gR2) ?  I am wondering if any performance differences are to be found in 
using CFQ vs. Deadline vs other options, especially in a large RAC / SAN 
environment.  Right now we are using CFQ, and in my previous experiments on 
filesystems I did not get any noticeable difference in changing to deadline.
