Here is what I *think* happens: - Thread.new and the other ruby threading methods from the ruby standard library will create and run on new CLR threads, but there is 'global interpreter lock' type thing to emulate MRI - I can sidestep the GIL by explicitly using underlying CLR threading methods
This is based entirely on speculation and "I thought I saw something about it once upon a time" Is there a page that explains what the threading model of IronRuby is? I would be happy to write one up on the wiki, but I have no idea what is actually going on. Thanks, Orion.
