(RADIATOR) threading

[Rodrigo Nuno Bragança da Cunha]

Thread creation in perl is much slower than forking. I've also seen 
great improvments just by replacing ithreads with the forks.pm module... 
and less bugs... and MUCH less memory consumption (yes, incredible).

Given the current state of perl native threads if you really need the 
threads model you should try forks.pm, or else live with fork alone.
