It appears to me that the Minix scheduling policy, although facilitating
a simple implementation, does not adequately support smooth operation
of concurrent applications.  Additionally, based on various comp.os.minix
messages it appears that others have make (in one form or another) similar
observations.

Before I possibly go off the deepend, I would be appreciative of others
(a) sharing any definitive work done in this area, and lacking such (b)
the sharing of ideas as to how the Minix scheduler should be changed,
both respect to policy and implementation.
