Re: [patch 00/13] Syslets, "Threadlets", generic AIO support, v3

Hi!

If kernelspace rescheduling is that fast, then please explain me why
userspace one always beats kernel/userspace?

because 'user space scheduling' makes no sense? I explained my thinking
about that in a past mail:
...
2) there has been an IO event. The thing is, for IO events we enter the
kernel no matter what - and we'll do so for the next 10 years at

..actually, at some point 3D acceleration was done by accessing hw
directly from userspace. OTOH I think we are moving away from that
model, so it is probably irrelevant here.
