Heh? Yielding is not about being nice, if you want to be nice you lower your priority. Yielding is telling the scheduler "I am temporarily out of things to do, maybe for a while, but a least until all the others running threads got a chance to run too". Any scheduler that runs you immediatly again without running the others threads is _broken_.
