So you need to enforce posix threads? Though looking at configure, it has 
to pass the checks as well, independently of the fact that you enforce the 
type. Why does not auto-detect then?

Any testcase around? Or could you tell me how to reproduce your 
"slowness"? I would want to check if the (new) linuxthreads works better 
than what is enabled by LINUXTHREADS_OLD.

Thanks, Peter
