Perhaps, but the fact is that the described use-case is VERY closely aligned with threads. They behave exactly as the OP is hoping for. So it's up to the OP to explain why threads *wouldn't* be appropriate, which could be something like "ahh but I need 2000 of these at once, I tried it with threads and it cost too much RAM". But without a justification of the inappropriateness of threads, I stand by the recommendation.
