you are correct here. especially the shared input groups having investigated 
a bit more.

hadnt considered these.

however, it should still be ok for these cases where inputs belong to 
multiple groups as the sched will/(should) find a matching input group and 
boost priority, but without extensive knowledge on all these, I cant be 
sure.

Ill upload another patch later in case others find it useful, but feel free 
to reject it.
still in process of more rigorously testing it anyway and will hold off 
until I have more complete confirmation.
