It depends where you use them. I wouldn't use them as-is in the Linux 
kernel or in embedded software development. They are used in Condor 
where they keep track of Condor pools with several thousand nodes. 
They're not very well optimized, but we normally use them in places 
where tight optimization doesn't matter.
