I was going to
say it was total and complete BS, at least based on the

I wrote a POSIX thread based queuing system a few years back that could
handle thousands of threads on a dual processor SPARC-10 before it just
completely locked up Solaris (I think 9). It was targeted at larger
systems, and it could easily scale as far as I wanted it to.
While you could argue that pthreads are not "C", the language was quite
happy doing what I asked of it.
Sometimes, I wonder... Programmers are supposed to be smarter than the
language. Not the other way around.
