Threading the proxying code doesn't help, if the backends aren't 
threaded.  It's not the frontends (which proxy) that is the problem, 
it's the backend.   If your backend radiator instances are locked for 
one reason or the other, you may have as much threaded frontends that 
you want, it won't help you. ;)
