This will require some surgery, would you like to have a go at it?
Despite the work needed it won't actually complicate the code any more,
it's more on the order of a rearrangement.
Definitively :)
I am working on it. I had to become familiar with the LWKT scheduling
code first. I like it's conceptual simplicity/elegance. While reading
the code I noticed that one thing that makes the whole code harder to
read is all those "#if SMP" lines. Everytime you have to flip a switch
in your mind (my changes won't change that).

Michael
