OK I rebuilt the kernel to use GENERIC with no SMP for the Java 
performance tests.
The results between libc_r and libthr are quite similar on single CPU, 
libc_r runs faster on a single CPU over 2 and is actually one of the 
better for single CPU machines compared libpthread, as libpthread was 
surprisingly low on a single CPU.

libc_r average hits per minute: 8,841
libc_r session average:4,481
libc_r transactions per minute: 2,947

libthr average hits per minute: 9,020
libthr session average: 4,380
libthr transactions per minute: 3,004

libpthread average hits per minute: 6,128
libpthread session average: 3,139
libpthread transactions per minute: 2,043

For completeness here is a repaste of the SMP kernel results
libc_r average hits per minute: 6,859
libc_r session average: 3,441 
libc_r transactions per minute: 2,310

libthr average hits per minute: 11,581
libthr session average: 5,573
libthr transactions per minute: 3861

libpthread average hits per minute: 8,823
libpthread session average: 4,500
libpthread transactions per minute: 2891
