From my own personal needs, the major thing I find limiting is the
priority-inversion problem in the scheduler. Maybe it's only significant
on single-CPU machines (like mine) but the resulting interaction between
display activity and real-time audio is highly irritating, and WebPositive
is hopeless on any sites that do a lot of drawing, because the cursor
spends 90% of the time frozen.
This probably requires the attention of one of the core folks. Julian
tried, and I guess has retired from the battle.

my machine that has just died -- taking 3 weeks hard coding with it...!
