Linux is obviously multi-threaded but I think they

IIRC, Linux creates intra-process threads via the
same mechanism it uses to create processes--i.e.
each thread uses up one available process in the
table. I recall there was some big change wrt
threads in libc6 but I don't remember, off-hand,
what that was.

I'm just getting JBoss going in Linux. It's working
fine for me but I haven't checked performance vs.
Windows. The OL manual's claim of doubled per-
formance under Win is a bummer, if true. Remember,
though, the online JBoss manual is the original one
and not the official one.
