On a side note, I thought I would mention that the Next Generation POSIX Threading (NGPT) Project (IBM -- http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/pthreads) patches have just been accepted to the 2.5.x Linux kernel. A 2.4.x patch is also available. So, it may be possible that POSIX mutexes may be a performance reality for Linux sometime in the near future...
