I prefer to go with a hybrid method.  1:1 doesn't work.

I've got some papers I've been reading on threads lately which I'll put

Basically it shows that pure userland threads have pros and cons, pure
kernel threads have pros and cons and a hybrid mapping is the best of
both worlds on a number of areas.
