I'm avoiding blocking, of course, but I'm also
worried about the
potential scheduling implications of jumping into kernel-mode and back,
and also the potential non-determinism of system call execution time.
Are these things I should actually worry about?
I've been using pipes for message-passing the way Clemens mentioned in
realtime MIDI and audio threads for years without ever experiencing any
scheduling or blocking problems.
Cheers, Tim
