Is the ns_param SystemScope obsolete?

Grepping through both the 3.3+ad13 and 4.x (cvs head) sources, I don't
see it anywhere.  It looks to me as if the thread scope is determined
solely by -DUSE_PTHREAD_SYSSCOPE=1 in Makefile.global at compile time.
Is this true?  Is SystemScope just an old leftover from AOLserver
2.3.3?

>From the code, I'm pretty sure the answer is "thread system scope is
determined solely at compile time, ns_param SystemScope is ignored",
but on a 2 processor Sun box, it looked to me as if I was getting
higher CPU utilization (as reported by top) with SystemScope set to on
than with it off.  Which I suspect was just my imagination, but...
