Pardon me if I seem a little confrontational, I'm not the only one who sees clone() as costly. Also, compare these to Solaris thread creation and such, you'll find that solaris can do some pretty good stuff on a lowly machine. (Perish the thought!)
On an Ultra at least, Linux fork()+exit()'s 3 times faster than Solaris even when lat_proc is run under strace. And it is a known fact that Solaris performs thread switches slower than normal process switches.
