In theory I agree with you. In practice, I was looking at what is practical and achieveable in a short time and with limited staff resources. I wasn't advocating writing our own generalized scheduler/dispatcher. I was advocating running 2 copies of perl, one with the time-critical stuff, one with the rest. And prioritize the time-critical one higher. Let the operating system dispatch the two of them. You don't want to have 6 because you don't want 6 operating system processes running.
