My guess is it's a function of the language. If I write an equivalent program in python, the behavior on windows is totally ordered, unlike perl. So my guess is there is a problem with perl's thread implementation in windows.
I've also noticed that if I start a thread in a perl program that is quite large in memory (25MB), it takes a little while (3-4 seconds), where as if I do the same in small perl program, there is no delay. Does perl duplicate the entire heap when starting a thread? -Mathieu > And remember that it's not a function of the operating > system anyway, > but of the language.
