&gt; &gt; If I'm correct in this understanding, and please correct me if I'm not,
&gt; &gt; then the "proper" way to implement such a scheme would be for each thread
&gt; &gt; to accomplish specific *tasks* instead of handling specific *objects*. So
&gt; &gt; instead of a series of "do things with an object" threads, you would have a
&gt; &gt; series of "do this thing" threads -- and those which are rarely if ever
&gt; &gt; called can be shut down entirely after a given period. For example, you
&gt; &gt; might have a "login" thread which handles everyone connected but not logged
&gt; &gt; in, a thread which handles combat, a thread which handles character
&gt; &gt; creation, etc. 
&gt; An interesting idea, but I think it would require too much inter-process
&gt; communication, and in particular may not load balance very well...

Careful with that term 'inter-process communication'.  That's not the 
mechanism through which threads communicate.

BTW, What processor is your telnet daemon using and when is it using it? 
;)
