  I will try google for benchmarks of libkse vs linuxthreads
(as my
  production servers are running happily on 6.0-BETA5),
cause I has been
  driven into by my colleagues developers to use
linuxthreads for mysql
  (we have multiprocessor systems and they say that
linuxthreads perform
  better on MP systems than original FreeBSD stuff) - I must
admitt that
  I have zero knowledge about threading in FreeBSD :/ so I
didn't have
  any objections at all.
