But I'm afraid that you may understimate the work. Porting MiG and cthreads is the easiest part of the work, since they are highly modular, while the rest of the work is far more difficult. What are your concrete plans to make Hurd independent of Mach, even though the design is quite often specific to Mach? If you want better performance, Mach emulation on L4 should be unacceptable. BTW, why cthreads? Why won't you switch to pthreads? Okuji
