I vote one step at a time, leave multi-thread support for future.
There's a lot more shared state than file descriptors anyway, at least
there are object db and index access and probably a couple of hidden
static variables somewhere. And I'm not sure if multi-thread really
helps here. Are we really CPU-bound? If object inflation causes that
(wild guess), can we just inflate ahead in some separate process and
pass the result back?
