How difficult would it be to make Lua true multithreaded? I know that

There is Diego Nehab's LuaThread:
http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-07/msg00056.html
Remember that it enforces a global interpreter lock and so the
performance will reflect that.
Thank you! As you may know I am working with Lua in the NetBSD kernel,
which is a heavily threaded environment and I need mutexes anyway to
make it mp safe...
Not beeing able to run multiple threads is seen as a disadvantage,
there, but thats a different story ;)
