Again, a PostgreSQL topic...
Going with threads is a major issue and not one we would do lightly.
The significant issue is that we may gain on certain platforms like
NT and maybe Solaris, but I am unsure about the others. We may lose on
the others and it is hard to make both a threaded and non-threaded
version of the backend. Yes, I know it can be done but is it worth the
effort is the question.
There is a TODO item with email about threads that you can review.
