1. Scheduling fairness.
Since kernel does not know about multiple threads behind given process,
it can not add it appropriate number of timeslices for execution.
Can be solved either by more tight collaboarion of the userspace and
kernelspace schedulers or simply by increasing process' nice value.

nice value is only meaningful for SCHED_OTHER. How will you handle a multithreaded realtime application that uses SCHED_OTHER as well as SCHED_FIFO threads?
