Let's all not take things so personally -- nobody here is stupid (and I'm sure
some folks here are a *lot* smarter than other folks 
give them credit for)...

There are lots of reasons to create a half dozen threads and that's all it
takes to make the glibc version perform absolutely 
horribly.

(And there can be no non-objective measurement that won't show my version of
malloc is faster than yours -- so this has been a win 
all around for us, thanks...)

If you're not interested in improving glibc, you can just say so.

But stop name calling when you feel threatened -- my 5 year old daughter has
already outgrown that.

Stop reopening.  There is a solution for people who are stupid enough to create
too many threads.  No implementation will be perfect for everyone.  The glibc
implementation is tuned for reasonable programs and will run much faster than
any other I tested.
