Capabilities of the different "threadlike" systems are somewhat muddy. 
What myself I like in stackless is :
- you can put context switching instuctions anywhere in the callstack 
without having to explicitely chain the operation
- pickle support

Not sure if greenlets support pickling yet. There are no info on that 
point and my tests weren't succesful.
