Had you deprecated the non-threaded RTS, we would probably have no problems described in ticket #2848 :-/
I think you'll have to deprecate it anyway, because it will be more and more difficult to maintain two versions of code,
we may conduct small survey on amount of usage of old RTS (i mean ask this in haskell-cafe)
For the only application I tried, using the threaded RTS imposes a 100% performance penalty - i.e. computation time doubles, compared to the non-threaded RTS. This was with ghc-6.8.2, and maybe the overhead has improved since then? Regards, Malcolm
