Of course the OS can know. Newer Linux kernels, for instance, have HT-aware schedulers, so that if you run an idle priority task on virtual CPU #0 and a normal priority task on virtual CPU #1, the idle priority task will be paused so as not to interfere with the normal priority task. /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/ _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
