No, its the same accessors for both, since the need to distinguish them
hasn't really come up.  Could you put a "if (preemptable()) return;"
guard in your implementations?

That would be a band-aid but would probably do the trick for now
for !-rt, tho it wouldn't do the right thing for -rt... 

Hi Ben,

Have you had a chance to look at doing a workaround/fix for these power
problems?  I believe that's the only holdup to putting in the batching
changes.  I'd like to get them in for the next window if possible, since
they're a pretty significant performance win for us.

Thanks,
