--------------------
Status update and informal exchange regarding current development activities
* after factoring out further external influences, a _breaking point_ for
processing complex dependent schedules could be established, which closely
matches theoretical expectations
* a further measurement series (linear regression) was necessary to establish
performance characteristics of the scheduler under constant high load
* as expected, a serious weakness pertaining contention could be confirmed +
(yet contention is not expected to be a problem in practice)
* as mitigation, concurrency is scaled down on very short (100µs) jobs
* overall we are confident that the new scheduler is capable to handle the
expected load pattern and does not suffer from major (unknown) weaknesses.
Moreover, the problems related to integration and use of external frameworks
for video display were discussed further.
