That would mean you could only have 4 process switches per second which obviously is not true.
Oh, I'm confused again. Normal OS'es usually have a 250ms quantum. I think they said Squeak was 40 or so.
Only if there is a single process at that priority. It's as if the process had called #yield voluntarily - the next runnable process of the same priority will be resumed once all higher-priority processes stopped.
Yes, much like how modern OS'es work. It's just that I was under the impression that once the current process is interrupted that another at that same priority would be given a chance to run.
