So why is clone() not meant to be used in applications? If I want
full control over how my program is parallelized across multiple processors,
I'm going to want use clone(). If you claim that we shouldn't use clone()
for "portability" reasons, that's a bunch of BS - if you want your
application to all-out perform on SMP machines, you have to hand-tune
it for each architecture, making portability pointless anyway.
