Xron has a single dispatcher thread. This thread knows how long to sleep for until the next job needs to run.
this model has problems when new jobs (for immeadiate execution) are entered after the system sleeps. i think it should it taken into account that people will use this dispatching thread to achieve async operations on a request, and that these might need to be done immeadiately.
This is not (or should not be) a problem in current Xron design. The Dispatcher wakes up early if the Schedule catalog is changed. -- Loren
