From what i understand (correct me if I'm wrong):
The threaded RT creates an OS thread for each CPU/core on the system and
uses them to multiplex userland threads. These are context switched
whenever they block/yield/gc and no priorities can be assigned.
It seems like we could get some

not exactly. amount of
It seems like we could get some priority based scheduling (and still be
slackers) if we allow marked green threads to be strictly associated with a
specific OS thread (forkChildIO?).
I think you want the GHC-only GHC.Conc.forkOnIO
Suggestions like this are more motivation for the suggestion
