You guys (by "you", I mean "official" committers on public list) don't care about people providing patches, might it be for trivial, obvious, fixes. I'm not even talking about complex patches ... When you eventually ends up providing a patch, you ends up being slammed a door at by maintainers asserting their code is perfect, until logic and user complaints prove them wrong. That said, this comment is off-topic, but I will certainly re-state this next month when I'll be ping'ing trivial patches. - Arnaud > It sounds like these scheduler issues (IO and threads) are well-known > and reasonably well-understood. > All that's lacking is the last bit of the puzzle - the actual > developer to develop it. :) > > > Adrian >
