Thread Scheduling

[Milian Wolff]

Hey all,

Till Adam just gave me some comments on a few internals of KDevelop. He dived 
into the code to investigate the ForegroundLock (which he finds to be a very 
"interesting" idea). Anyways - in his opinion KDevelop has a huge issue with 
thread scheduling, esp. of IO intensive jobs. For example we have the 
background parser using two or more threads. Then cmake uses QtConcurrent with 
$ideal-thread-count more threads. All of those are IO intensive and can easily 
starve each other, so I understood him.

This is probably a hard task to solve, or even to investigate. Has anyone got 
any good reads on this topic for me? Or any hints on how to debug / profile / 
... this?

Bye
