Your analysis seems spot-on to me.  I just thought this would be a quick
hack to see if the tcl scripts are the culprit.  Even starting multiple
threads at starting, you'll still take a hit if you have to crank up
another thread during the life of the process.  I'm just trying to get a
handle on likely avenues of attack for solutions.  Starting up a thread
should be more heavyweight than forking a CGI, so I'm trying to get a
handle on whether thread startup is heavy, and how, if at all, it can be
mitigated.
