Are we comparing the performance of a threaded program on a uniprocessor to the performance of the same program on a SMP (or ccNUMA) box. I hope that both boxes have the same number of cpu's to help even things out a little bit.

I just tried the program on HP-UX and I'm not getting any reproducable results. There does seem to be a trend that creating a thread takes a while if a new kernel thread must be allocated for it. This may give the first thread enough time to run to competion in a second cpu while the first cpu is still building the 2nd thread. Lengthening the loop counter helped. So did immediately rerunning the program. Anyway, right now, I can't get back to non-intermingled mode.
