I would second what David Cramer said. You don't need, in the general
case, need multi-threading on the server side for Ajax - it's really
about browser-side multi-threading. I'm not sure where your point 1
comes from: I use AJAX with the standard, single-threading development
server all the time, and I have not encountered any issues at all. I'd
say leave it as it is, unless of course you have encountered some
specific problem relating to the single-threaded nature of the server.
In that case, please post some details.
It's theoretically possible that with the server tied up with some
long-running request, the browser might time out before the server got
around to servicing an AJAX request which was next in line. However,
you should be able to configure client-side time-outs appropriately to
mitigate this.
