Yes I see. The scenario under which I see doing it to be useful, is thinking in
adding multi-threading for PG v 7.5 say, and preparing the road. But maybe it's
a worthless effort. Many developers are pointing it. Let's forget about threads
for now.

By the way, my original question about how integrated the multi-threading fork
reached, remained unanswered. I will assume it went threading, dropping forever
the original behaviour, so deciding me towards not considering threading a
viable option (for now).

Haroldo.
