What about GetNextEvent or TaskMaster? Would the ADB Manager be set to use
interupts for inputs rather than busy-waiting polling loops? What about
interupts for other I/O such as serial ports?

I am getting intrigued by this talk of multitasking on the GS. I would like to
see pre-emptive (with constraints as mentioned previously), but Multi-Finder
would be OK.
