Could you summarize the advantages (or need) of the threaded RTS? It doesn't work under solaris and under linux [1] my nightly compilation jobs are "killed" every tuesday morning (!) for some reason that i cannot reproduce. I suspect the threaded RTS and heavy load. I had no such problems with ghc-6.4.1 before. As a friend of pure functions I hate such a non-deterministic behaviour of a (mere) compiler.
