FWIW, SingleThreadModel is generally not considered a good, clean
solution.  If you are having threading issues, it would be much better
to design your code/system so as to eliminate them.  Or if that's not
possible, to reduce them to as minimal as possible -- e.g. a small
block of code -- and use synchronized appropriately.  This has been
discussed on this list in the past, you might check the archives.
