 Ouch. So, same stack sizes for programs with 10 and 10'000 threads (on
one platform)?! OMG. It is completely unusable, according to my
experience with massively-parallel programs (think: programs which
could completely load SunFire 15K, 144-way, monster with I/O bound
load without any significant lock contention!).
