Re: Access control and process scheduling issue

"So they've discovered you can't run untrusted code at full performance on a modern CPU."

But that's what the customers demand: good, safe, fast--all or nothing. Anything who replies, "I'm sorry I can't do that" gets left for the one that says "Can do."

It raises a real conundrum. What happens when the customer demands no less than unicorns?
