Hmm, so that stuff was implemented without proper (performance) 
analysis on whether it is really beneficial and just for the hack of it :-)

Ok, here is a link to someone who did more analysis with that kind of stuff 
and documented some pitfalls with it.

He did it under Linux.

BTW: I see Unix signal handling is widely ignored in tango, is that true?
        I can imagine why.
