 	      A NIF that cannot be split and cannot execute in a millisecond or
 	      less is called a "dirty NIF" because it performs work that the
-	      Erlang runtime cannot handle cleanly. Applications that make use
-	      of such functions must indicate to the runtime that the functions
-	      are dirty so they can be handled specially. To schedule a dirty
-	      NIF for execution, the appropriate flags value can be set for the
-	      NIF in its <seealso marker="#ErlNifFunc"><c>ErlNifFunc</c></seealso>

+	      Applications that make use of such functions must indicate to the
+	      runtime that the functions are dirty so they can be handled
+	      specially. This is handled by executing dirty jobs on a separate
+	      set of schedulers called dirty schedulers. A dirty NIF executing
+	      on a dirty scheduler does not have the same duration restriction
+	      as a normal NIF.

+	      It is important to classify the dirty job correct. An I/O bound
+	      job should be classified as such, and a CPU bound job should be
+	      classified as such. If you should classify CPU bound jobs
+	      as I/O bound jobs, dirty I/O schedulers might starve ordinary
