[DGD] Rewriting the main loop

[Raymond Jennings]

Could you elaborate please?

I'm assuming you mean getting so busy with I/O that callouts are
indefinitely deferred, or that the higher tasks will chew up so much CPU
that the lower stuff never gets done.

I'm aware of some starvation issues but if your elaboration hits something
I missed it'd be great.
