I have a question. Our scheduler is based on the assumption that i/o bound processes will block, and cpu bound processes will not. Because of that, we can support a _lot_ of i/o bound processes on a 64 Hz scheduler. If, though, we allow the i/o bound processes to always make use of their full quanta through use of threads, won't this have a huge impact on our ability to support many i/o bound processes? So, I guess what I'm getting at is: won't the proposed thread model have an impact on the effectiveness of our scheduler? -- Daniel C.
