Since we have to be compatible with the BSD stack, this is a completely 
different situation, I would say.
There is no kernel like the BeOS kernel out there yet, so we have to 
reimplement it for the most part, but there are tons of BSD stacks out 
there.

BTW FreeBSD is often much more multi-thread aware than the other BSDs 
in my experience. Perhaps their networking stack is, too.

Adios...
