    I'd like to keep it around in some form -- I recently ran a series of
    HTTP-related benchmarks and libc_r benchmarked signicantly faster than
    other libraries on both UP and SMP. I'm working to refine the benchmark
    for improved realism, and will see if that persists. However, when it
    comes to understanding scheduling and threading behavior, I think libc_r
    remains useful...
