It's not "offensive" to me, it is a behavioral regression. The
situation as we speak is that you can run cpu intensive tasks while
watching eye-candy. With RSDL, you can't, you feel the non-interactive
load instantly. Doesn't the fact that you're asking me to lower my
expectations tell you that I just might have a point?
I'm not trying to be pig-headed. I'm of the opinion that fairness is
great... until you strictly enforce it wrt interactive tasks.
