The idea was just to see how it would perform with NPTL to wake all
threads at once. Probably a pointless and stupid test, but the HUGE performance
gap with linuxthreads seemed big enough to discuss it.

NPTL rocks. It is (depending on the number of consumers) 2 to 6 times
faster than linuxthreads.
