If my benching is right he has rather few instructions to make a clone 1000x faster ;)
Nobody has defined faster... what if he is talking about metrics other than thread/lwp creation? How does an application that makes heavy use of threads scale under linux compared to SCO?
I know of at least one application that, under Solaris pthreads scales _much_ better if you have hundreds or thousands of threads (Solaris has hybrid user/kernel threads).
Sure, this isn't necessarily a kernel issue but as Andi and other people have pointed out, most programmers don't distinguish.
