there's plenty of recourse possible to all possible kinds of apps. Tune
the sysctl flag in one direction or another, depending on which behavior
the app is expecting.
Yeah, I read those threads.
It seems like the fundamental source of the disconnect is that the tasks
used to be sorted by priority (thus making it easy to bump a yielding
task to the end of that priority level) while now they're organized by
time (making it harder to do anything priority-based). Do I have that
right?
