I think you want to be careful about what you're implying, there.  
Gajim's architecture - using a single non-blocking thread - is  
perfectly fine, as you certainly don't want or need multithreading  
there.

You do need threads for high-volume systems, but you want them  
scaling by core, not by connection.
