Hello all, I'm not a kernel guru too, but what know is that : java threads are mapped to posix threads (linuxthreads in the glibc). The linuxthreads library uses the kernel threads, which directly map into a 'process like' entry in the scheduler. (1-1 mapping). One has already said that the linux kernel is optimized for the common case, ie few processus in the scheduler queue. m-n mapping may be coming soon on linux, thanks to http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/pthreads I don't know differences between 2.2 and 2.4 Florent ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
