[Boost-users] size of libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so

Hello, After compiling libboost_thread-gcc-mt.so on debian/gcc-2.95.4, this so weights 195kB, while libpthread weights only 100kB. Why such a huge difference ? Isn't boost::thread meant to be as lightweight as possible ? What about the raw inpact on runtime memory consumption compared to std pthreads ?
