scheuling time is 10%, focus on 90%

Here's my 2c about scheduling times. They are already working quite well,
and while all can admit room for improvement, it is not the key issue
(although I don't *REALLY* know what is). One can never underestimate the
strength of simplicity.

NOONE is wrong here. Both Larry and Richard (who are chosen because they
speak out more than anything :-) are completely right, and anyone who has
not been emotionally involved in this knows it.

Whatever Richard discovers is valid for understanding of the "IDEAL"
situation and yet Larry brings up the very "PRACTICAL" approach. I have
written a few programs that work extraordinarily well as "timing
sensitive" soft RT programs. Letting the OS run seems to work very nicely
right now, so why bother focsing on this when good minds are needed
elsewhere?

Take over the world.
