For the most part, Liquorix should always lose on throughput benchmarks. Most of Phoronix's benchmarks focus on those.

You can check the comments regarding a discovery that certain sched_yield configurations destroy performance on out-of-tree schedulers and was amended post benchmarking.

This however was using MuQSS, which was notorious for poor single thread performance. Liquorix now uses PDS which attempts to use all physical cores before deferring to SMT threads. This completely changes performance for lightly threaded workloads.

There's been no news-worthy benchmarks since Liquorix switched from MuQSS to PDS.

Anecdotal, but I noticed a lot better browser performance when switching to no I/O scheduler, "none". I also noticed that Linux wasn't trying to use most of my RAM for buff/cache.
