I'm surprised he didn't already realised this given that his quote comes from page 32 of chapter 3 (Scheduling) and you cover the sleep time issue shortly thereafterwards and in particular on page 41. There are a number of points I mailed to Robert about the book however Amith should note there's a typo in timeslices on page 42 when he comes to it. Robert explains this very well and in fact the whole book is just great. I think I've only obsessively read it 4 or 5 times now...that's not a problem at all...but I know the page numbers reasonably well by now ;-).
