I'm also on Eternal September, and can confirm that it's not carried.
James, I think you're on Eternal September as well.
 
I took a look on groups.google.com, and it appears that the most recent
post was in 2011, subject "Moderator Vacancy Investigation:
comp.os.linux.answers". It's possible GG's horrid user interface has
misled me.
 
How do you see it as "fairly active"?

Yes.

I agree, and I've suggested that he should post to c.u.p. His
unwillingness to do so does not suggest that he would participate in a
new thread started there by someone else. At worst, it would just
increase the noise level in c.u.p. And cross-posting to another
newsgroup and setting followups would probably not affect the
"discussion" here.

Linux provides mechanisms that allow dedication of compute resources
(e.g. hardware thread/core) to a specific set of processes. So do
most other legacy Unix operating systems.
 
The mechanisms vary based on the host operating system. cgroups is
the current favored mechanism on linux.
