In this paper we obtain new results concerning the expected response time of the foreground-background (FB) scheduling discipline and its comparison with processor sharing (PS). Some results previously derived for job sizes with finite second moment or bounded sizes, are extended to infinite second moments. New bounds and asymptotic results are also derived. We show that for job sizes with infinite second moment large jobs may benefit from the FB scheduling discipline although this discipline favors short jobs. For certain distributions all jobs sizes may even benefit from FB with respect to PS showing that the performance benefits obtained by some job sizes need not be obtained at the expense of others.
