A bit of general discussion on this topic is OK, as it's not for very 
tech details but more for design.

As for threads: they are faster, nicer, scale better, but require more 
advanced programmers than for processes, as synchronisation of the 
threads is more complex. But I believe only the devs can decide how 
they do something, we "stupid users" are just allowed to say "hey, I 
want more performance and feature x". It's nice that they do this for 
us already.

I just hope that switching to threads does not bind such a lot of 
manpower that other features do not enhance. I don't know if it's 
possible that multiple clients connect from different PCs via IMAP to 
the same account, as cyrus can do. If it wouldn't, I'd see this as a 
much more urgent feature than threads - for example.
