I'll do that today.

I already wrote about it:
- There are commercial products that work like this
- The basic scheduler had only slight imballances when using a read
trace
- The hot spot solution will remove even those (I hope)
I implemented the hot spot solution in the scheduler and in a simulating
program on user level. And the results with the same workload are
encouraging. Further tests have to be done.

Hmm. I think I have to look at your algorithm before I ask some stupid
questions.
