Yes, there's other ways than threading. ligthttpd and HAProxy are good
examples of monolithic state machine that can serve thousands of
requests per second. But in some respect, they are much more simple
projects than pd.
Hans' statement is contrary to pretty much all commonly-accepted uses of
the words «concurrency» and «parallel».
BTW, I once tried to use the word «parallel» to mean a bunch of
computations that don't have any dependencies with each other. I paid the
price for doing so and I changed my wording pretty quickly.
