Hi Ezra,
Short answer:
Java on Linux does support "timeslicing".
Long answer:
Java knows two threading models: Green threads and native threads.
Green threads are implemented by the virtual machine (vm) and native
threading uses the operating system's threading implementation.
Green threads are implemented as cooperative threads which means, if you
don't cooperate you can starve the other threads.
Native threads depend on the OS and as Linux threasds get sceduled by
the kernel like processes, java's "native threads" on linux do
"timeslicing".
The java 1.3 implementation defaults to using native threads. If you use
an older jdk please read the README and look for "threads" to find out,
how to select the threading model.
