That may however set the bar way too high. After all, if the all brand new XO-focused software doesn't already do this (mostly-blocked/sleeping, no polling) style of programming, naively ported or amateur-contributed stuff definitely won't. So you may end up needing a tool that applies heuristics and overrides the CPU requests of poor programs. - FChE _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
