Schneck, P.B., 1974: The myth of multiprogramming. Softw. Pract. Exper., 4, no. 1, 59-62, doi:10.1002/spe.4380040107.

A common myth surrounding multiprogramming is that it it a necessary mode of operation to deal with the high levels of I/O activity found on most computers. This paper shows that the high level of I/O activity is to a great extent a direct result of multiprogramming. Monoprogramming is proposed as a method of achieving high performance which yields advantages in turnaround time, efficiency and equipment configuration.
