Re: Queued tasks

Reminds me of the time I ran Nautilus (GNOME file-manager for you KDE guys :) on a multi-processor system, on a CDROM mounted directory.

Now, someone was smart and made Nautilus launch thumbnail generators in parallel, one for each CPU, and that is a good thing. Worked great on hard disk or network folders. However, on the CDROM I thought the system was going to crash, it got so laggy.

Read a bit of file here, seek, seek, seeeeeeeeeeek, read a bit of file over here, seeek, seeeeeeek, seeeeeeeek, repeat.
