as Sascha said - NPTL is the future for multi-threaded applications - I think there is a need for review of TSRM.
If you read what Sascha said you can see that when NPTL is ready, we'll be taking advantage of it automatically. It's an implementation of POSIX threads, that's all.
Be advised that TSRM was written initially around Windows, which has had a very efficient thread safety API for years. There's really nothing new about NPTL or __thread, equivalents of which were available under Windows for years. There's really no need for review of TSRM, as it was written taking all of this into account. If you feel the urge to review it, though, go ahead - I see no reason and have no intention to do it :)
