Dana, root has even twice the cpu cycles assigned, therefore when using boinc or something similar as "root" it gets even worse for the "user herself".
You can also create load using something like "python -c 'while 1: i = 1; i += i'".

Maybe just taking SCHED_IDLEPRIO out of the "cfs main loop" would be a good idea?
