There is a patch to make use of _SYSTEM scoped threads instead of
process scoped threads for mysql mentioned ealier.. Also, if you
use libmap to remap libpthread to libthr, you'll have similar
results...
libpthread (aka libkse) is a design for M:N threads, and requires
the user of pthreads to create new system scoped threads to make
use of multiple cpu's...
libthr is a design of 1:1 threads where each thread has it's own
process, and will automaticly use multiple cpu's w/o regard to the
scope of the thread that is set...
Also, when running the tests, make sure that you run vmstat -w 1 or
something similar, and make sure that the id drops to 20 or less...
If it doesn't, you're probably still using a single execution thread
for it...
