There's your answer ... the 2 lines above.


+       printf("DON:\n");
        /* But this one is new process, copy maps. */
        for (i = 0; i < MAP__NR_TYPES; ++i)
                if (map_groups__clone(thread->mg, parent->mg, i) < 0)

before David's patch, we do _not_ see any DON markers.  After David's patch
we see a 1:1 match of DON markers to the number of threads currently running
in the system.

Your "speed up" is based on the assumption that all synthesized threads are their own parent which is wrong. ie., ppid != tgid of the process.

Before ppid was getting initialized to -1. If you just make that change to revert to the -1:

You see the "DON" messages.
