According to the BFQ page, that IO scheduler has lower latency (than cfq noop deadline and android-only sio) and identical throughput on SSDs. The kernel is also more recent than the 13.04 default, always a plus for performance and functionality.
I have installed pf-kernel 3.19.0-pf3 compiled for Ubuntu and my PC is working like a charm with no delay in any application I could use, including video rendering of MKV files that struggle my graphic card to the limit. Perfect. Pk-kernel is being compiled for Ubuntu for a while and it may be downloaded in: ftp://big-bum.uni.cx/pf-kernel/i386/
