Right. You have to understand that they are a very useful
mechanism upon which you can build alternate flow-control
constructs. I personally use them for context-switching in a
simulation I wrote. They are, ah.... VERY VERY FAST.

An attempt to do the same thing in Java would cause the
JVM to die a horrible death with 1/10th the thread-load.
