I have to ask: Why it is so important to you that the libthr performance gains be possible to achieve in some other obscure fashion? So FreeBSD finally has a working kernel-based threading implementation and it's not your pet async call gate design. Get over it! It's not rfork processes masquerading as threads, it's real threads. In the kernel. End of story. Please stop spreading FUD and drop this thread. Your contribution to it has ceased to be productive. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/
