Hi guys, Sorry, maybe this is a simple question but what compiling ruby with --enable-pthread actually does? Does it mean that with this option I will have thread support in Ruby and without it there will be no threads? I know that enabling pthread leads to performance degradation (at least in version 1.8.7) but without this option it seems there are still threads enabled it ruby.
