The results, assuming they are right, are rather surprising. <p> <p>As we expected, processes are horrible and event-driven code is very good. The surprise is that kernel-threads, while unfair, are not as bad as we expected, and that user-space threads, if implemented right, are actually pretty good. <p> <p>Did anyone do anything similar?
