Call for thread testers: XMMS

[Maciej Freudenheim]

Hello!

I was tuning xmms some time ago. Now i'm running it linked with libthr
for about 2 weeks and i haven't observed any problems.

Here are few numbers:

libc_r.so.5 => /usr/lib/libc_r.so.5 (0x28336000)
45197 fahren    98    0 17984K 14708K select   0:46  3.08%  3.08% xmms

libc_r.so.5 => /usr/lib/libkse.so.1 (0x28336000)
45261 fahren    98    0 17236K 14384K select   0:11  2.80%  2.78% xmms

libc_r.so.5 => /usr/lib/libthr.so.1 (0x28336000)
45347 fahren    97    0 17236K 14384K select   0:10  2.41%  2.39% xmms

The tests were all done of course on the same version of xmms (cvs from 
Tue Aug 12 2003) with the same settings and playing the same mp3 file 
('dream of mirrors' :)
OS version was FreeBSD-current from Aug 23.

So,

> Does it work with libkse and libthr 
Yes.

> Does it operate correctly
Yes.

> Does it perform better/worse than with libc_r
Better. 1:1 libthr is the winner.

> Does it perform better/worse than under FreeBSD 4.x 
Much better. Xmms is eating about 10% cpu on the same machine with FreeBSD
4.x.

Hope it is useful to somebody :)
