Thanks, these changes show an obvious improvement with heavy forklifters. But there is one strange artifact; fork response is not consistant over successive runs, i.e. sometimes it starves, sometimes it moves, and sometimes it flies. It looks like it's dependent on some sched-stats to accumulate before it stablizes. Also, fork/thread creation is one aspect of testing, but what about thread termination performance, which has to sync back to the creating thread? How is that handled, and is there some code around that can test this?
