I would love to have that. If someone has a few months to spend in the
Scheduler ...

Note that with the new non blocking FFI implementation (I don't know when
it will be in production, the 64 bits port became more important than non
blocking FFI, so we inverted the priorities, probably in a year or 2), the
VM could show more than 100% cpu usage if using FFI.
