100% great work Simon. Thanks!

I've got a question or two for you and Matt about this new threading.

1) How does this compare to NPTL (Native Posix Threading Library) in Linux? I dont mean performance wise but in technology?

2) i've read through couple of historic threads in which you (matt) say that ideally DragonFly should have M:NCPU threading and in another one Simon says 1:1 is what we want to have. Is 1:1 just a step before or has the M:N idea been abandoned. Not that it would suprise me as Linux,Sun,FreeBSD either have already or are abandoning M;N for 1:1 for performance and stability reasons.

Cheers,
Petr
