About a year ago the local SigAda presentation by someone from
Sun or Silicon Graphics (I forget which) was about a compiler
that let you specify which tasks should be separate OS threads,
and thus not block other threads when they do IO, and which tasks
should be Ada run-time multitasked within a single OS thread,
and thus do task switching much faster.  Thus letting you
'pays your money and takes your choice'.
