It is a workaround for the lack of truly lightweight threads at the OS
level. But I don't expect that situation to change, even with the
recent improvements on the Linux front. The new RedHat Linux threads
folk claim to be able to create 10^5 threads in a couple of seconds,
whereas we can create 10^6 threads in about that time (on an old 500MHz
machine, too).
Cheers,
Simon
