No problem. Had the same issue myself. One day I'd like to further improve it to have more specific names (I/O, reaper, shutdown), but it would require a lot more refactoring so for now all threads have the same name. > However my question is: my application sets the affinity and the > priority of all threads it creates explicitly.

There is already an API to set those. Check the manpage for zmq_ctx_set, and the following options: ZMQ_THREAD_SCHED_POLICY ZMQ_THREAD_PRIORITY Note that as the manpage says you need to set them before creating any socket, immediately after creating the context.
