Hi. I've just read some text about Ulrich Drepper's new implementation of posix threads on Linux. It's not stable, but still did anyone test it? I read it can start and stop 100k threads in 2 seconds on an x86 box.
It requires 2.5.36 kernel, glibc 2.3 beta and gcc 3.2, so I can't test it on any of my boxes - don't have a testing machine at the moment and I don't want to make my laptop too unstable... I'm just wondering if anyone has tried AOLserver on it, if it runs, causes problems and/or SEGV. Also I'm wondering if it will speed things up on higher loads - does AOLserver 3.x rotate threads after some requests? Wouldn't make too much sense to me. Also, how often does AOLserver begin new threads? -- WK (written at Stardate 56728.4) "Data typing is an illusion. Everything is a sequence of bytes." -Todd Coram
