Could you post your versions? It might be interesting to see whether we can adopt this approach as default in the vm/reference implementation. VMThread now does have a lot of native methods. But I believe I discussed some of these issues with Jeroen and if I remember correctly there were some subtle issues with just doing everything as wrappers over Object.wait()/notify().
The current approach allows the VM a lot of freedom. Trying to do too much in Java removes >this, and in my opinion forces many VM implementors to abandon the VM interface altogether.
You were talking about the VMThread implementation. I jumped to the conclusion that you meant Thread. Sorry.
