Yes but w.r.t. this thread (sorry :-) it would be "nicer" (and much more
interesting :-) if the scheduler was adaptive.
For example, wouldn't it be interesting on multi-CPU boxes to have the
scheduler have some biases so that task which always used up their entire
quantum were all put onto one set of CPUs while those that did not and so
went onto another set. Then have different quanta specfied for the
different CPU sets -- longer for the former and shorter for the latter.
Take care,
John
