A while ago an article that previewed a graphics conference mentioned a talk by Rob Pike (the provocative one). The title was something like `Why UNIX Can Not Do Real Time Graphics'. Did anybody hear the talk? Or better yet can someone give a short summary of the paper? I would imagine that Unix's scheduling philosophy and its habit of locking out interrupts have a great deal to do with his argument, but I would like to hear the rest.
