Where? I only see this in starting/initialising/stopping/destructing  
things. The actual locking etc use one pthread call in all cases  
afaics. Of course, starting a Pascal thread requires initialising all  
the threadvars etc, but that is not going to change if you use  
something else than pthreads.
