You are probably using LinuxThreads. The start-to-end
thread model will gain most from kernel-level thread
packages, where each change of thread is a kernel
context switch. The performance improvement is likely
to be much less for fibers and hybrid thread packages.

Sure points-up the need for compile-time, library selected,
or (my favorite) dynamic re-arrangement of process model
(yes, yes, I know its more complicated. culpa mea.)
