I would suggest getting in touch with your vendor and asking for any
benchmarks related to tasking, specifically:
PIWG C/T tests (PIWG :== Performance Issues Working Group)
Hartstone test (from SEI, real-time applicability)
Rendezvous are much lighter weight than full-blown processes (kind of
a fore-runner of the current fashionable 'lightweight threads' POSIX and
Unix-ish mechanisms). Don't be too surprised if you start seeing rendezvous
implemented on top of OS-supported lightweight threads, especially in
multi-processor Unix environments.
