Hello,
After compiling libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so on debian/gcc-2.95.4, this so
weights 195kB, while libpthread weights only 100kB.
Why such a huge difference ? Isn't boost::thread meant to be as lightweight
as possible ?
What about the raw inpact on runtime memory consumption compared to std
pthreads ?
