I suspect that problems with the scheduler don't matter nearly as much when you've often only got a handful of tasks which are runnable to choose from. If one considers problem domains requiring multitasking between non-blocking tasks (realtime games seem to be a good example), you'd probably find scheduling much more important there... -- -Chuck
