This has nothing to do with TLS.  The code currently used got to use the
general libpthread locking code.  This was, I think, the result of one
of the last changes in the locking code where the libc side wasn't
updated correctly.  I've done this and this is what I see:

drepper@ht 20031104-2$ time ./u > /dev/null
real    0m1.272s
user    0m1.270s
sys     0m0.000s

drepper@ht 20031104-2$ time LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 ./u > /dev/null
real    0m0.316s
user    0m0.320s
sys     0m0.000s

drepper@ht 20031104-2$ time LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. ./u > /dev/null
real    0m0.207s
user    0m0.210s
sys     0m0.000s



The first is the old nptl code, the second LinuxThreads, the third the
current nptl code.
