Well there's the added complication that under threads, the kernel now has
to be careful about user-space memory access as well in some cases.
 Related, I've observed some similar automatic slowdowns because of
pthreads cancellation checks.   As soon as you're running pthreads, all
sorts of syscalls become cancellation points, and every time they're
invoked a quick check has to be performed to see whether another thread has
sent you pthread_cancel().
