no modeling here. just an interest in process/thread creation. if the 
shootout can handle 2 thread creation tests i am all for doing two tests.

(i still think that the case with lots of threads once, is the more 
difficult one, and therefore better at discovering which language/run 
time is the better.)

no, i have not done that. the archives sounds like a good idea.

it is of interest to me. i do not speak for anybody else.
