See the "ALTERNATE IMPLEMENATION" section in "man libthread" on Solaris 8. On Solaris 9, the one-level implementation is the default.

If you have any other questions about new Solaris 9 features, start at http://docs.sun.com/?p=/doc/806-5202 - for instance, this feature is listed under "What's New in the Solaris 9 Operating Environment >> 2. What's New for System Administrators >> System Performance Enhancements" there.
