Re: fixed time slices?

No, if your thread ( low priority ) wait for IO op and data come schedular
can do priority boosting for your app e.g., so you can do something and not
wait forever if higher priority thread run at the same time

Don't forget that schedular isn't so stupid :) and do priority
boost as defined

Priority-boost gives the application with the topmost/focus
