No, and this is simply because we're using pth, which is user-land
threading (it's trickery and magic around a big select() loop :). At the
point that the server is working without pth it should already be
considerably faster than going through an extra API that is simply faking
it anyway.

By doing the work to not depend on pth, we can then start the process of
using real threads where needed, and that is ultimately the goal here.
