I think Marty Leisner is talking about multiple threads of control in a single address space. If so, this can be handled without kernel preemption. AFAIK kernel preemption is really only required to handle realtime processes. BTW, nice description of `priority inversion' w.r.t. prioritized realtime processes on MP systems (in your other message about Scheduling Algorithms).
