Forking and overhead in FreeBSD
I thought I read somewhere that FreeBSD implemented some method where forking was now virtually the same overhead as setting up threads. There's some guy arguing with me that everything in the 'nixes is done with forking, not threading, and windows is so much better, blah blah blah, which is what made me think I had read something somewhere about that.

There is a FreeBSD Threads mailing list.

He is probably biased towards threads due to the fact that forking a process in Windows is expensive. Here is part of a discussion on threads and forks on the python mailing list that is quite applicable:
