Should a user decide to have kernel 2.4.x, is this version in Ubunto a
native-posix-threading-library (NPTL) compliant ?
No, they are not as madly patched as other distribution kernels. NPTL is not
a feature of Linux 2.4.
Yes, it is not a feature of 2.4.x but one can patch. It did became in 2.5.x and now 2.6.x.
Incidentally, in one 2.5.x, test in starting/stopping all 100,000 parallel threads on
1GB RAM resulted in 2 seconds as against 15 minutes on non-NPTL kernel
stock.
Before NPTL, MS is superior to Linux in terms of "smoothness" of Win operations.
But not anymore with NPTL.
