A new thread gets a new interp, but if you configure the server to start the max number of threads (maxthreads == minthreads), then the server will start all necessary threads at startup. Because of all the copying, thread startup on AOLserver is fairly expensive (close to, if not more expensive than, forking a new process for CGI on a Unix system), so higher-volume sites will start all threads at server start.
