Hi, Mulyadi

simply to say that, the more important a job is, it should be given
longer time to run... but, the process has privilege to yield before
time slice is up...and when it comes back,it will use the remaining
time slice.....and its dynamic priority will stay the same (that's the
property that I recall....)

well, you can think, what happen if you take the other direction for
the policy? higher priority, but less time slice? that, IMHO, is less
intuitive.

Initially, I think that the scheduler should enlarge the timeslices of
CPU-bound processes to improve throughput. But, now I have realized
that the two goals of schedulers, namely shorter latency and higher
throughput, can not be achieved at the same time. Linux scheduler may
prefer to the former. Thanks! :-)
