Posix Threads are sloooow, especially compared to native Linux threads, i
expect that's true for native windows as well. so IMHO it's better to make
wrappers for whatever threads the OS has to offer. So basically I am against
using PThreads. I agree that reinventing the wheel is stupid though... so if
we can find a finished GPL or Public Domain multiplatform thread system we
should assimilate it. :)
