: AW: Weird Windows 2000 scheduling behaviour with Squeak VM
The problem is simple: WinNT scheduling sucks. I'm giving the main
Squeak thread a minimal priority boost since it turns out that this does
_wonders_ for sound generation and some other real-time activities.
The fix is going to be a) allow for completely disabling the priority
boost and/or b) make it dependent on Squeak being the active app.
Cheers,

I've seen this problem on XP, too. It seems like the Windows scheduler
is _extremely_ poorly designed. I know how to solve this problem and
I'll fix it.
