fastthread is a library which replaces the synchronization primitives
defined in stdlib=E2=80=99s thread.rb (Mutex, ConditionVariable, Queue, and
SizedQueue) with optimized versions which:

      * are much faster (in the non-contention case, speed comparable to
        direct use of Thread.critical or Thread.exclusive)
      * don=E2=80=99t leak memory (the stdlib implementation of Mutex manag=
es to
        trigger worst-case behavior of a memory leak in Array)

To use it, simply require 'fastthread' before you require 'thread'.
Provided you don=E2=80=99t muck with thread.rb=E2=80=99s internals, your co=
de should
work with no additional modification.

0.4 is primarily a robustness/bugfix release. There is both a gem and a
tarball available:

      * http://moonbase.rydia.net/software/optimized-locking/fastthread-0.4=
.gem
      * http://moonbase.rydia.net/software/optimized-locking/fastthread-0.4=
.tgz
