This part interests me. It would seem that either 1. The AS scheduler should not bother waiting at all if the process is not going to wake up in that time 2. The process should be woken in that time to ensure the AS scheduler is not wasting it's time waiting. or a combination of 1 and 2 depending on some heuristic deciding on how important it is for 2 instead of 1.
No, I'm not planning on trying to implement either of these <insert usual complaint about time and knowledge here>, but I thought I should at least contribute my thoughts.
