Network devices are capable of using pthreads to enhance their performance.
To realize these benefits, you must build the desire simulator with

Additionally, simulators which contain devices which use the asynchronous
APIs in sim_disk.c and sim_tape.c can also achieve greater performance by
leveraging pthreads to perform blocking I/O in separate threads. Currently
the simulators which have such devices are VAX, VAX780 and PDP11. To
