We'll still have threads obviously. The idea is to have a modular scheduler interface which would make replacing the scheduler with another one easily. This would allow us to write several schedulers that are optimized for specific tasks.. we could have a scheduler for a server.. or a desktop pc.. or whatever.. the right one could be loaded at startup time (doing this at runtime would be a little crazy) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
