    One of the important changes in Solaris 9 is a
    change in the threading library. Solaris 8 had an
    alternate threading library that Sun was allowing
    customers to play around with, and this is now the
    default threading library with Solaris 9.

    The replaced threading library will not affect
    application compatibility - Solaris 8 apps will
    run unchanged - but this change in threading
    schemes will allow nearly all applications to
    scale to larger processor counts than they
    currently can on Solaris 8 servers. (This is known
    as vertical scaling in the nomenclature of the
    server business.)


no idea what this will do for Zope...
