Excellent, I was planning on prodding someone about this a while back, hope this will give some measurable performance improvements without sacrificing stability. How much will this affect debuggability, will there be a higher chance of thrashed call stacks and thus non-valid panic traces? Feels a bit strange that some callers expect a process when calling a function that says it creates a thread, but I guess it's a bit late to complain that noone made a kproc macro for aio et al. What does aio actually need that requires it to run as a process? /Johan
