Preemptive scheduling

Hi all,
Does the Squeak VM do preemptive scheduling or regular yield style
scheduling. This may sound like a silly question, but I know Erlang is
language that does mainly green threads and they are preemptive in nature.
They accomplish this by allowing a given thread to execute no more then 100
VM instructions before it is preempted (obviously if a thread makes a
primitive call that is a voluntary yield).
Does Squeak do this already? I suspect not, and if I am correct, would
there be any benefit in doing something like this or would it actually slow
things down?
Thanks,
Jason
