Roc's argueing that one should not use additional threads, if the only
motivation is optimizing performance.
However, in the patch I'm proposing that's not the motivation.
My understanding is, given the nature of Mozilla's networking engine,
using threads is the only way to solve the problem of unwinding our
blocking NSS APIs from Necko, so we can use Necko while we are blocked.

I think you should talk about that implementation choice with roc :
