Note that that diff does the converse of what you requested, pegging a thread to a CPU instead of banning the CPU from running other processes' threads. On your bigger question: I don't know of any one working on making OpenBSD a realtime OS in the sense of providing latency guarantees. This would require massive changes to all levels of the kernel, from interrupt handling/routing/blocking to the buffer cache and UVM subsystems to filesystems. Philip Guenther
