Individual processors of a storage system are analyzed to determine which thread types are most important for servicing a run workload, where importance is measured by number of CPU cycles used. Permutations of differentiated access to CPU cycles are calculated, where the most important thread types are provided with greater access to CPU cycles than thread types of lesser importance. The permutations are tested with the same run workload to determine which permutation yields the greatest average IOPS. The thread scheduler for the processor is configured with that permutation.
