Thread polling still means you need a true shared-memory multiprocessor, 
and not an ordinary cluster..  (Or automatic kernel support for 
migration of threads over a Infiniband cluster interconnect or similar 
-- which unfortunately doesn't really exist.)

[which is not to diminish the feature, just so people don't jump to 
conclusions!]
