Any special reason to use threads at all? They're still not 100% stable, so if you don't need them, you could just as well fork() your program and get a couple of seperate connections to do the work.

Using fork is probably more efficient too, if you're on some kind of Unix. You might even consider forks, which claims to be able to replace threads, though I've only played with it sofar, and not used it in any real application.
