M:N threading model news.


I've fixed number of bugs (actually all known) and optimized some pathes a bit. Comparison of the create/run_empty_function/destroy thread against NPTL can be shown on this picture.



NTL is about 30% faster, its maximum time is around 18-20 microsecods, NPTL sometimes fires upto 40 microseconds.

New table design.


I've found that my original enter door is made of quite good wood (likely pine, but I'm not yet sure) and not chipboard, so I decided to make a good table of it. If I will find another door I will create real big two-dimensional table, otherwise a bit simpler one.
I plan to make a good table so that it would be used after development is over as a writing/computer table (actually that is why I ever start building it - HP has returned my laptop from guarantee repair (hard drive exchage), so I need a working place at home to do the things).
Two designs below do not show vertical elements, since how I will made them fully depends on the fact that I will or will not find another door to work with, in the simplest case it will be just several vertical posts. Table will be covered with mordant and varnish at the end to make it look cool.
I would move to the development shop and bought a wood plates (or even a usual computer table in the shop), but it is not interesting.
So, two designs of my future table (note that it will be placed near the window on the left, chair will be placed back to the wall).
