HI! There are some Linux modified scheduler on Internet. The best one for general purpouse application is QNX-like scheduler patch from Adam McKnee ([email protected]). It is a patch for kernel 2.0.32. I am testing the performance of this scheduler for a University exam and the preliminary results says it is better than standard one . It would grant good interactive performance under heavy CPU load. You can find the patch at www.linuxhq.com or by contacting the autor. Hope this helps Leandro
