    Most of the threading changes have been things like 1 thread per cpu, which
    would seem to scale up and down rather well to me ... could you illustrate
    by pointing to an example of something that's changed in that area which
    you think is bad? Yes, if Linux started 2000 kernel threads on a UP system,
    that would obviously be bad.
