Also the kernel cost for a lwp is relatively small - probably < 16k on
i386 even with a kernel stack.  So 1000 threads 'only' costs 16MB of kvm,
with a modern system, and a sane kva scheme, this probably doesn't matter.
Especially since the user stack space for the threads has to come out of
the 32bit user address space, and most of the kvm can be paged out.

The 1:1 threads also makes it much easier to use different schedulers
for different user threads (etc).
