Sorry, I did not intend for my reply to be perceived like this.  It's a
common mistake for people to assume that MT means faster applications, and
since you didn't supply enough information about what your application did
to determine if there was some design flaw in what you coded, I had to
make an assumption.

I'm not aware of any issues with the Boost.Threads design that would
directly lead to what you observed.  With out more information, and
possibly even example code to illustrate it, I can't provide a better
answer than what I have thus far.
