Quick thought before the morning coffee: It could be more interesting toincorporate some idea of context switching overhead (which would berelated to clockspeed I grant you) if you're looking at that low level.If it's extremely cheap to switch why not do it more often?
You have to strike a balance there so you don't impair throughput, specially when you have a lot of similar worker threads competing for raw CPU time. Responsiveness is golden for Haiku's purposes, but so is throughput -- think of real-time effects processing on uncompressed HD video. :)
