Peter Kadau has been talking about changing the userland scheduler (which could be done dynamically, as Matt Dillon pointed out) and a post out of that discussion by Matt Dillon does a nice job of summing up the differences between DragonFly and FreeBSD-5 process management.

Uhm, that switching the scheduler would be possible on-the-fly was a remark of Matt not to be attributed to me. I really thought this had to fixed at boot-time.
*Changing* the scheduler is actually very easy thanks to LWKT if you’re willing to live with some #ifdef’d stuff…
The more DragonFly evolves, the more impressed I get.
I changed the post – hopefully it doesn’t misattribute any more.
