Well, the main reason for using multi-threading in a single CPU environment is to use the CPU cycles when a program (or thread) is in an IO lock ... BTW. There are thread schedulers which work in a single address space, pth is one example: http://www.gnu.org/software/pth/ This would remove the need for locking (expept for OpenGL I gueass).
