[Click] Two questions on multithreaded Click!

User level Click is single threaded. StaticThreadSched and
BalancedThreadSched used to schedule elements on specific threads are kernel
only elements.

Also see the following links for references:

I believe some have experimented with pthreads, see

The latest kernel patch in CVS is 2.6.19.2. Why dont you just run
2.6.19.2on your Debian box?

Hope this helps a bit.
