WaitForMultipleObjects(), which is the Windows equivalent to select() or poll(), can handle a maximum of only 64 objects. Do we really need priority requests at all? They seem counter to your desire for simplicity and allowing the operating system's scheduler to do its work. That said, if a thread's time budget is merely paused during I/O rather than reset, then a thread making frequent (but short) I/O requests cannot starve the system. -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC <http://stutzbachenterprises.com>
