Actually, cyrus-devel would have probably been an even better place to put

In the case of cyrus, I think you can quite happily stick with the
multi-process model, I wasn't advocating moving to a threaded model. The

I will also add that on current *nix systems the advantages of threads
over processes is a lot less then it used to be. In my case we are running
apache2 on AIX and found no noticable difference between the two (so we
are useing processes for the stability reasons you note below)
