with a boot diskette and then with rescue.img I get
to the command prompt and then run fsck.

Hi.
Reading through kernel/sched.c I came across this block (on line 597):
{
cycles_t t, this_slice;
t = get_cycles();
this_slice = t - sched_data-last_schedule;
sched_data-last_schedule = t;
}
It seems to me that

Shouldn't there also be a way to add non-filedescriptor based events
into this, such as "child exited" or "signal caught" or shm things?
Waiting on pthreads condition variables, POSIX message queues, and
semaphores (as well as fd's) at the same time would *rock*...

are fairly small (only 4kB worth of data buffer), so they need good

The pipe bandwidth could be fairly easily improved by just doubling the
