Ah, brain-fart. He did say "in threads". It just goes to show that I come from a very process/fork intensive world (work a lot with apache 1.X which is all about processes and forks... likewise older perl (5.005_03) wherein threads were not really 100%).

So I guess I was a little off-topic with my reply. Doesn't make it not true, though :-)

Honestly, I didn't reallize that threads did not use shared memory. If anything, I'd have assumed that they used shared memory even more than processes. After all, in threads, the semantic is not copy-on-write... it's syncronize-on-write (so if it were just shared to begin with, there'd be no need to copy the data between threads' memory pages... just syncronize access when performing writes). But, anyway, as I said: I'm no thread-head. (Understand the concepts but very little actual experience with using them or the details of their implementations.)
