I stopped reading here:
<blockquote><i>
At the software level, very little existing software makes use of threading.
</i></blockquote>
Shall I grep the Linux and Darwin and BSD user-level source programs that contain
instances of <tt>fork</tt> or <tt>system</tt> or <tt>popen</tt> for you?
I think "very little" should be changed to "lots of".
<p>
Don't equate hardware threading support with the software crappy "thread" thing. In unix, thread is spelled "f-o-r-k".
