Is there any feeling that aio_* and lio_* functionality is desirable? Do rthreads supersede them?

If aio_ is desirable, what is the consensus about the tradeoff between the number of kernel thread vs. code complexity to use fewer threads to service multiple process' requests?

I took a look at freebsd aio code which might not map to openbsd low level routines & the swapper code which might (though single threaded) be a good place to start for low level code.

All opinions welcome!
  thanks
