&gt;
&gt;Yep!
&gt;
&gt;The big problem with not using OS-level threads is that you only get
&gt;to have one system call active at a time in your whole program. With

Related to this, most multi-processor systems share thinsg out on a thread
level, one system process ends up meaning you cna only use one processor..

I knwo for a afct this is very true under Solaris and woudl expect tyhe
same under WinNT...

Jeff Kesselman

&gt;OS-level threads, you can have several threads actively doing system
&gt;calls. That lets you have threads updating your on-disk database or
&gt;something, at the same time as other threads are doing socket calls.
