I haven't implemented a thread scheduler in some years, but I am more
familiar with what's required than many who state an opinion on M:N
vs. 1:1. My instinct says that M:N is the superior solution - I don't
have anything to prove this and certainly it'll be tricky, but
generally anything which increases parallelisability will increase
scalability.
I had been watching your work from afar just out of interest in how
you do with a real M:N implementation. Someone asked for my library
to work on FreeBSD, so now I'm actually part of the process. I look
forward to it.
Cheers,
Niall
