Anyway, look at it this way, suppose you have 4 tasks on 2 cpus, cpu0 has 3 tasks and cpu1 has 1 task.
The currently running task on cpu0 does exec and gets moved to cpu1, even though it gives up time on cpu0, it gains time on cpu1. Because it was eligible to 1/3 of cpu0's time, whereas it is eligible to 1/2 of cpu1's time.
So its a win, right?
