if that were so then you would define a thread being SCHED_RR and the box would drop dead as it would ONLY be handling THIS thread and nothing else - even if you run a SCHED_RR/SCHED_FIFO thread your lowest priority thread will get its slot in linux thus you have a "statistical priority" but no absolut priority .
