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. > Maybe someone subscribed to this mailing list has already used JBoss on > Linux, is familiar with Linux threads and can enlighten me on this issue? 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. Peace, -=greg
