The struct size is fixed - I dont follow you

If I understand him correctly, the idea is to make the struct one node of a Btree -like construct.
IE: (struct-of 2-or3-processes)(link to next struct)
That way, with a minimal amount of processes (2,3,4, or 5) you would have one struct, just as you
described. But, if you try to have more, the struct chain grows by another struct (2,3,4,or 5), etc...
If you are crazy enough to have MANY processes, the chain would grow accordingly and so would
the time necessary to traverse it. But with a small amount, (small being relative to personal taste), the
response would be acceptable.
