60% speedup? Wow. I can't really imagine how using threads would speed it up so much, but it if it really works that well.. :) Can you perhaps split the patch for the GList stuff and the threads stuff. It's preferable to have somewhat smaller patches, especially for things that are not really connected. Ilja
