Comment (by viboes):

 Hi,

 I have refactored the code so that thread::id contains just a pthread_t or
 a windows handle. I guess this will give the performances you expect. I
 have no tested yet the code on windows.

 To be able to use it you will need to define
 BOOST_THREAD_PROVIDES_BASIC_THREAD_ID.

 See attached patch 5173_pthread.patch

 Please, let me know what do you think?
