you can turn sleeper-fairness off via:

echo 28 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_features

another thing to try would be:

echo 12 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_features

(that's the new-task penalty turned off.)

Another thing to try would be to edit this:

if (sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_START_DEBIT)
p->se.wait_runtime = -(sched_granularity(cfs_rq) / 2);

to:

if (sysctl_sched_features & SCHED_FEAT_START_DEBIT)
p->se.wait_runtime = -(sched_granularity(cfs_rq);

and could you also check 20.4 on 2.6.22.5 perhaps, or very latest -git?
(Peter has experienced smaller spikes with that.)
