Hi all,

ok, another dumb question about 5.3..

Where did all the processes come from ???

It looks like maybe processes for each IRQ have been separated out...

There used to be only about a dozen or so processes, and now theres 
about 70...

Are these something that can be turned off ? or are they just 
representations of threads ???

I guess its not really important, but I was just wondering...

Tim.



here's an example :
