 Is the problem here related to the number of threads running (or extant)
 at any one time, or the rate at which they're destroyed / created?  

 In either case, though, you'd expect to see the CPU usage go high.

 A presumably even more proprietary variant of a cruddy language?

 At least with the Windows API you know your app only has to run for
 a short time (before the box crashes or someone owns it, and the lack
 of performance is then conveniently hidden from the user).
