Oooookaaay, after fixing a couple of nice bugs (gdb is really good with threads these days, I hadn't expected that), I now get these results: $ (time (do ((i 0 (1+ i))) ((= i 100000)) (join-thread (begin-thread #t)))) clock utime stime cutime cstime gctime 21.00 18.61 2.23 0.00 0.00 12.50 $ (time (do ((i 0 (1+ i))) ((= i 100000)) (future-ref (future #t)))) clock utime stime cutime cstime gctime 10.51 9.72 0.73 0.00 0.00 7.45 So futures are clearly faster than threads (as expected).
