Hello,

See Robert Watson's reply to this thread. An unfortunate number of
problems exist in threading and scheduling. Most are well-understood
and are being worked on and 5.4 should see measurable improvement.
Personally, I am more concerned with network and scheduler perfomance.
I know the former is being addressed, but I don't hear anything about
how work on SCHED_ULE is progressing.

Regards,

stheg
