I'm not sure what is your point... Is 4090 processes an insufficient number
? Does a program made up of one executable/two threads require more
ressources and run slower than a program that forks itself up and uses twice
the amount of memory ? Are you saying that threads are not useful in an OS
and should never be a part of NetBSD ?
