Re: Lightweight threading options?

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've actually gone ahead and implemented a quick Termite like package built
on SISC threads.  I haven't tested to see how scalable it is, but I assume
that it can't compete with the lightweight threads of Gambit-C.  Still, for
my purposes (most just playing around) I don't need to spawn millions of
threads and so using SISC should work great.

I've written up my work here:
