all true.
except for this
         And all based on something you half-read and totally misunderstood, written by somebody who misheard it from someone they met a tech conference--or meybe read it on the back of a cereal packet.
my opinion was based on RTFS and reading p5p and reading ./win32/Makefile

          They measure the wrong thing and are dog slow.
again, you know better, given that you attacked a problem thoughtfully.

ok, you convinced me :)
I will have more careful approach about threads, and will stop explaining to each other about drawbacks of perl threads.

Have a nice day,
Vadim.
