Heap table, simple test. Which threading library is that with, btw? If libpthread, could you run the same test with libthr, and vice versa? I've noticed that libpthread has the interesting property that it greatly improves contention issues on certain locks when those locks are contended on within a process. The reason is that it avoids having threads within the process compete with themselves. The big locks threaded processes hit when contending with themselves are the file descriptor array lock and signal delivery related locks. Robert N M Watson
