I think you mean to compare lightweight to process-
based mechanisms.
I would think that any disadvantage was due to the
overhead of using the kernel process mechanism.
Non-kernel threads can make assumptions that a
kernel process cannot so additional work is required
to acquire such a resource. Also, I would guess that
the context switching for the process-based threads
costs more as well.
This is all just speculation on my part. There are
many people on this list who are far more expert
with this kind of thing.

It's strictly a development platform for proof-
of-concept work. No load to speak of so the
out-of-box config works fine.
