And it seems that scheduling to minimize latency may be a genetic trait ... My daughter is home for Thanksgiving. I asked her to do something, and her answer was "Sure but let me put this in the oven first. I like to start the thing I have to wait for before I do something else." When I told her she was practicing latency hiding, she thought that was funny, but launched into a complaint about the ordering of the recipes a few minutes later, as in: "Why do they tell you to grease the pans first, when there's going to be a bunch of times where you have to wait a few minutes anyway and you could do it then?" Plus she started her laundry before any of this .... she's better at latency hiding than I am. Too bad she's a Poly Sci major ... too funny :) On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:03 AM, Cary Millsap <cary.millsap@xxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > :-) Awesome. > > Latency hiding in the spirit of > http://carymillsap.blogspot.com/search?q=latency+hiding. > > > Cary Millsap > > > > On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 10:19 PM, <troach@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> Speaking of wait time.
