Does anyone know anything about the fair scheduler patch?
Like, what exactly is it?
How do you do anything useful with it?

This is what it says on the page you linked:
It apparently just helps prevent users from hogging every last bit of CPU (I assume better than what the stock kernel does). I browsed through the patch and it doesn't appear that there is any configuration (it's either on or off depending on if you enable it at compile time).
With this patch your system will not allow any user to monopolise the CPU by firing up a lot of CPU hogs, don't forget to enable CONFIG_FAIRSCHED
