Threading libraries and it's speed.


Looking into threading benhcmark hosted on http://shootout.alioth.debian.org I've found that synthetic threading model (i.e. which has threading capabilities built into language interpreter like Erlang) works generally faster than posix threading model.
I think I will try to implement that benchmark in C and run different applications hosted there to compare if NPTL is really that slow.

If it is really so, I will think some more about possibility to create such library. Obviously I will not start it's implementation tomorrow, but some generic thoughts about how it could look like, what algorithms could be used and so on... Just a thoughts...
