Hi Lists, The Register has an article about the Linux compatibility layer for Unixware. The article claims http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/12733.html quote> SCO's Juergen Kienhoefer tells us that by mapping clone processes quote> directly onto UnixWare's native threads, huge performance gains quote> can be realised. "Basically thread creation is about a thousand quote> times faster than on native Linux," he said. The performance boost quote> could particularly benefit applications such as Domino, according to quote> Kienhoefer. Somehow I doubt this. I could believe that the glibc pthread layer causes a lot of overhead for the thread creation, but I cannot imagine that they get clone 1000 times faster than the Linux kernel. Comments?
