  JM isn't actually a scheduler, just a simple task manager, and it
  has some design flaws that make it incompatible with some software.
  Executive has some problems with some buggy software, but not
  because of system illegal programming. These problems can be
  very easily be solved though, so Executive will work with all
  Amiga software.

  Executive has a REAL task scheduler that automatically adjusts task
  priorities based on their recent CPU usage, system load and task's
  nice-value. The goal is to make the system more usable by granting
  as much CPU time as necessary to non-CPU intensive interactive tasks
  and running CPU intensive tasks in the background.
