As entertaining as this thread had been (and it has been), what I do not find to be entertaining is that the executive management clowns at JAVA have managed to wipe out about 50% of shareholder equity in just over a year.

Dear Sun Board of Directors, how long can you continue to support Schwartz and his clique? It's time to clean house yet again.

If I understand this correctly, there is a way to mitigate the problem you delineate for T(n) processors. You employ Logical Domains (LDoms), assign some number of threads to each domain, have a single instance of Solaris running in a domain, and have Solaris do your process scheduling for you. That's a pretty effective way of taming otherwise not-well-threaded applications.

Shareholders unite! While you still have something left to lose!

The people responsible for the Open Source strategy--the current so-called executive management team--have never made a penny. Anyone who thought that somehow, miraculously, that would change have been downright intentionally delusional. It's time for accountantability here, and that's the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Short of that, SMI would benefit from an outright shareholders revolt!
