Status in Ubuntu: Won't Fix

Bug description:
i think that the default I/O scheduler

 should be change from   CFQ   to   deadline

---------------------------------------------------------------------

i have test CFQ and deadline I/O scheduler

on a DELL Latitude 120L with 1GB of RAM and 40GB hard drive

with EXT4 filesystem and GPT with both I/O schedulers

and Found that deadline I/O scheduler is the fastest

--------------------------------------

also tested
 EXT3 with MBR and deadline I/O scheduler
 EXT3 with GPT and deadline I/O scheduler

 EXT4 with MBR and deadline I/O scheduler
 EXT4 with GPT and deadline I/O scheduler

 EXT4 with MBR and Noop I/O scheduler
 EXT4 with GPT and Noop I/O scheduler

-- all are faster with 
deadline  I/O scheduler -OR- Noop I/O scheduler

ubuntu versions tested - Ubuntu 9.04, Ubuntu 10.04  (LTS),  Xubuntu 10.04

--------------------------------------------------------------------

also test both I/O schedulers on two other computers (total of 3 computers)

the deadline I/O scheduler preformed faster then CFQ scheduler

Noop  I/O scheduler preformed best ( faster then deadline )

-----------------------------------------------------------------

also went deadline I/O scheduler is put in Grub ( etc/default/grub OR grub.cfg )
the boot speed is increased and desktop speed

OR went deadline I/O scheduler is put in rc.local ( etc/rc.local )
the desktop speed is increased only
