@mrniko what would be the benefit of this different scheduler?

trustin commented 10 years ago

Currently, an event loop's scheduler methods do not use HWT anymore. It's only there as a utility for users. Therefore, replacing it with something else will not change anything about an event loop. I'm interested in making HWT more robust and efficient, so please feel free to let us know more specific issues with HWT.
