Hi, thanks for the feedback.
I'm not sure either about the effects of such scheduler change on orangebox. I'm just asking if *please* it's possible to have a switch into the command line that disables those scheduler changes that orangebox tries by itself anytime map is loaded. Those tries fails if running as unprivileged user and succeed only when running as root. Il 04/10/2012 21:16, Joe Love ha scritto: > You might want to look into the schedulers a bit more.
