That could be, I don't know how Linux wakes things up, BUT, >I dunno if there is a way to make Linux/pthreads/AS/... wakeup threads >in LIFO order instead of FIFO. Anyone else know? From what I recall of how threads are started and killed, well, if this is a concern of yours, then another way to skin that cat might to alter the logic in nsthread and conn.c maintaining a ratio of active threads to total threads, and to start killing threads off when the ratio becomes too low.
