Hi all,
I just read http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/5682 that Tim (I think it was) mentioned, and found the part about doing alternative scheduling with a higher priority thread interesting.
The question I had was, in the example it says the high priority process can use Delay's to sleep while other processes are running, but what happens when a process does IO? Doesn't that cause the process to yield?
What I am thinking is, if I were to make a scheduler process that manages all running processes, how can he find out every situation where a process yields in some way? It would be ideal if there was a Delay millisecondsOrUntilInterupt: type message.
Thanks, Jason
