Subject: Re: Experimental PATCH to improve thread performance


I intend to implement this as another patch to 1.6.8 and
(a different one) to Ruby 1.8.6, both in 'C', of course.
I don't consider any of the required changes "fundamental",
but not all can be implemented in an extension.  In particular,
every thread blocking point (usually) needs to add a check
for (queued) pending exceptions. 

Do you think you could implement this as a Java extension
in JRuby?
