Oh, I'm confused again.  Normal OS'es usually have a 250ms quantum.  I think 
they said Squeak was 40 or so.

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.
