ITS approach to system calls

| Speaking of stack groups, could someone on the list either talk about
| or give some references to stack groups. I am interested in possible
| performance comparisons on multiple processors to current thread
| implementations like Solaris LWP or Digital Unix pthreads. Dual
| pentium boxes are in the range of affordability now and I have been
| thinking about getting on just to play with some of this stuff.
