> The “pain” experienced in an overload situations is spread among all late jobs. Contrast this with fixed-priority scheduling, where lowest priority jobs will be starved completely, until the overload is resolved.
Though this is often not a good way to spread out the pain.
It's probably much worse for the 15s job to be a minute late than for the 8h job to be a minute late, but basic deadline scheduling will treat them the same. So you want sharing, but uneven sharing.
