web2py built-in server is multithreaded even without the -n 10 option. The only issue is that if an app uses sessions and the same visitor (same session cookies) requires two or more pages, those requests are serialized because each of them locks the session.
Requests coming from different visitors will run concurrntly. This behavior can be changed (session._unlock()) but there is really no need to and your app may become unpredictable.
