I do understand that these are different things.  But the original 
requestor wanted the latter, and doesn't that require the former?  If 
you're going to use native threads, aren't you going to have control 
them from native code, and thus, more of it is going to move into the 
VM?  (Hard to express tone in email, so let me be explicit: I'm not 
trying to be argumentative -- I'm seriously interested in grokking 
these issues.)
Thanks!
