That may not be true if glibc has been built with NPTL and you are using
Linux 2.6 kernel and Python that you've compiled yourself. I'm getting very
good performance on this combo.

On the other hand, if it's working for you, best to leave it alone. 

If anyone knows of any software to benchmark thread performance, do let me
know.

I actually like OS/2, and unlike Linux it has had threading built into it 
from day one and it works pretty well. Personally I would not be surprised 
if Zope running on OS/2 outperformed Zope running on Linux using the same 
hardware.

Besides that, more and more open source software is now buildable on OS/2 
so there is little point in moving away. In fact XFree86 4.4.0 became 
available for OS/2 before Linux, AFAIK.

Now it looks as though I can build Zope 2.7.0 straight from source without 
requiring any patches at all, so there is much less suffering involved 
than there used to be. As for virii, I am not aware of a single one which 
affects OS/2. 'Security through obscurity' is quite a useful motto ;-)...
