Can you tell us why some things are impossible to scale with 5000 posix
threads (and easy to scale with 5000 plan 9 style threads) ?
Is this specific to posix or linux ? Or maybe you will write a paper on this
?

Does Plan 9 Port help? I mean, libthread on Plan 9 Port alone could be

Concurrent programming for the win?
probably not for this community. When we had plan9port in xcpu we got
nothing but complaints. This in spite of the fact that some things are
impossible to scale with 5000 posix threads, and easy to scale with
5000 plan 9 style threads.
