I don't know if I buy there results. They compare there 'best-of-breed' threads implementation against standard poll(), which is not the best event system framework on either BSD (kqueue) or Linux (/dev/epoll), so the comparison is really flawed. In fact, all they've done is flipped the standard argument against threads (that it's the implementation and not the design) by choosing a sub-optimal choice of event systems.
