[maemo-developers] IO schedules other than noop?

I run my N800 with root on an SDHC card (to get a bit more room on
root), and I've notices quite a few cases where the system becomes
unresponsive due to mmcq blocking for a long time. I'd guess that when a
lot of writes get flushed to the card, the system can backlog while the
card writes the data.

Has anybody played with IO schedulers other than the NOOP scheduler? It
seems to me that perhaps using deadline, with writes having a large
deadline and read a small deadline might help address this.
