BTW, please do _NOT_ top post!
sorry

No, a process also contains an address space.
Of course .. I ment they are _almoust_ similar.

No, that is creating a schedule unit (task) without an address space.
Ok, I've already found that in kernel code ... and correctly understood.

Surely you need some context switch when switching between runnable
contexts.
Hm. If the thread is running after it's sister or parent process - you
do not have to switich the process context. Is this done in kernel??

Sorry if my thought are idiotic .. I'm a newby and trying to
investigate the kernel.
