I read it and was underwhelmed. anyone who follows linux-kernel
would know that the scheduler is optimized for normal loads. that is,
those with only a handfull of runnable threads. people have rearranged
task_struct before, but that was a while ago, and fast development
implies high code entropy. the paper _was_ organized nicely ;)

god, I hope not. user-level threading is Just Plain Wrong if you can
possibly avoid it. the only venture in that direction I can imagine
would be Mach-like scheduler activations. though I'm sure it would take
a pretty major problem with the existing scheduler to motivate Linus &co
to take that step...
