Hi!
Which SCO version? If you are talking about SCO Openserver (and not
SCO UnixWare) the major performance hit will be the thread
implementation; Here you will probably loose about 10 %.
Another problem is also that threads on SCO Openserver can't utilize
SMP. This may be a major hazel if you sometimes want to upgrade our
server.
