as good at what?  user-space threads might be actually preferable on a
non-SMP machine, if only because of the lower thread-switching
overhead.  so until the vast majority of desktop computers are SMP I
wouldn't be so sure. ;)

are there any pthread implementations that never go into kernel mode
on uniprocessors?  if there are, I'll happily eat my words.

now that's true.
