Hi

How does Akka guarantee time slice for mailboxes ?

I mean with respect to JVM garbage collection pauses, could that cause a mailbox to not get a time slice ?

It does not. We rely on the thread scheduling of the OS. There is no other way to do it on the JVM.

Yes, since the JVM may pause threads for certain GC tasks.
