The solution is to stop using message queues which is exactly what I'm doing in the new version.

What (are you using|do you want to use) for IPC now?

It's using UNIX domain sockets for what the message queue used to be used for which has several advantages as well as the one we've been talking about.

1. We don't need the extra copy of btsched to catch network messages and put them on the message queue.
2. You can select for data on that as well as the other things and do timeouts all at the same time with one syscall.
   
3. gbch-xq and other such creatures can talk straight to the remote copy of btsched without "bothering" the local copy.
   
4. You need less TCP ports allocated.
   

The scheduling stuff is now done using threads and each level of the job queue hierarchy has its own thread. So there is only one multi-threaded btsched.
