Re: [Help-smalltalk] Process & Fork

Hi Quenio,

I can't speak for GNU Smalltalk, but yield in general is a tricky business,
and does often not mean what one might think. A good way of thinking of
yield is: "Hi scheduler, I'm not done yet, but if you have something
important to do, I will yield now". In particular, yield MAY be a no-op, so
never put it in a busy-wait loop.

Anyways, puting a delay in the main process makes the two processes take
turns on the cpu. This may be a bug, a feature, or per design, I have
really no idea. Just don't ever put yield in a busy-wait loop, and
everyone will be fine. :-)
