1.9 and 1.8 differ greatly concerning 1:1 threading.  any 1:1 (xu) threading comparison should be done with -preview.  there is an easy way to switch threading libs, as well (just change the libpthread.so symlink).  you *have* to compile the packages yourself, though (can't use the pkgsrc binaries).
