Neither.
Fork() is used to, uh, fork other processes (for example to start scripts).
pthread is not used at all - there was some experimental code that used
multithreading to get crypto into its own thread, but that has been
removed for 2.3 because it wasn't complete and didn't work.
Multiple requests are just queued in a, uh, "work queue" - which is
basically a glorified array of things-to-do - and then processed one
after another.
