Hi Lists, The Register has an article about the Linux compatibility layer for Unixware. The article claims

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.
