- I believe that this is Executive's task to be friendly. AWeb just starts
- tasks at the same priority and Exec time-slices these. And Executive simply
- stops the processing and rendering because it is an unimportant CPU intensive
- background task. I.e that is exactly what it is supposed to do, but since it
- only guesses what you want to do it sometimes guesses wrong.
-
- >is? Is he relying on the tasks to be at certain priorities?
-
- No. The tasks run at the same priorities and are timesliced. When Executive
- reduces the priority of the CPU intensive processing task it simply stops.
