Ahh, ok. No worries then.
At that point I don't think O(1) matters all that much, but it certainly
won't hurt. UNLESS it causes bad choices to be made. Which we can only
guess at right now.
Just out of interest, where have the bugs crept up? I think we could just
try out the thing and see what's up, but I know that at least some
versions of bash are buggy and _will_ show problems due to the "run child
first" behaviour. Remember: we actually tried that for a while in 2.4.x.
[ In 2.5.x it's fine to break broken programs, though, so this isn't that
much of an issue any more. From the reports I've seen the thing has
shown more bugs than that, though. I'd happily test a buggy scheduler,
but I don't want to mix bio problems _and_ scheduler problems, so I'm
not ready to switch over until either the scheduler patch looks stable,
or the bio stuff has finalized more. ]
