Add to that the fact that programmers have shown themselves, on
average, to be remarkably bad at figuring out what _should_ be done in
parallel - as opposed to what _can_ be done - and you've got a clear
indicator that threads, as we know them, are not scalable except under
a limited set of conditions.

I find the dataflow model of concurrency on Oz to be interesting and to
address many of the issues you just mentioned.
See in particular: 'Dataflow variables and declarative concurrency' and
onward.
