Re: Optimizing multi-tasking . . .

	"Optimizing" multi-tasking by raising the current input-active
program to the highest priority would NOT optimize multi-tasking at all,
but would turn the Amiga into a single-tasking machine a la Switcher.
ONLY one task could then run at a time, the currently active one.
The Amiga is ALREADY "optimized for multi-tasking" in that tasks
which are waiting for input get NO CPU time.  A task that wants to
run and isn't waiting for input expects and deserves some CPU
time (i.e., a compiler.)  Of course, if you wanted to turn your
beautiful multi-tasking machine into a Macintosh, you could certainly
write this program.
