        Interesting =) I saw about a dozen+ or so of them in the queue.

        I'd love to replace the sw/ internal idle handling loop with the
standard VCL one too - but that in turn requires really quite some
gradation of priorities - so that we do layout at idle before we do
document statistics, before spell checking, before we do grammar
checking, etc. =) at least if we want to keep the same behavior.

        That rather cuts across the "collapse all priorities" patch FWIW -
personally, I'd prefer them as per glib - separated by some 100's so we
could fine-tune these relative things easily.

        Then again - if the scheudler performs much better after jmux's work -
then we can whack many more, more granular tasks into it - which is
good; but then we will need more granular prioritisation too.

        Ah - it's really Tor's club; I'm a late convert - and this particular
piece of code converted me when I did the change ;-)

        ATB,

                Michael.
