i see how the aio/kqueue ideas can get around some of this, but if
you're using rfork() based threads to span multiple processors, don't
you still run into all the problems that come with using a process as a
thread?  or at least the overhead problems with switching processes and
the overhead within the kernel data structures?

it just seems like KSE's solve these problems in a more palatable way.
