Only that the existing 'nice' command only works on processes and nice is traditionally a process concept. Also see things like renice. Individual threads can already alter their priority somewhat (e.g. to set an individual thread to an idle or real-time priority). -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
