Comment Re:Multi-tasking (Score 0) 266
I have never heard such nonsense in my life, go back to CS201, multi-tasking is all about manageing multiple CPU entities and nothing at all to do with battery life or power management.
On one or many CPUs (cores) you need power management and background work management, see the LHML on Android sleep management.
Linux has had SMP for years and the BKL has just been removed from the last of the code. WNT inherited a BKL from the VAX VMS guys design, and you could never persuade people like Cutler that this was piss poor design!
