Some would argue whether that constitutes a better design. Some
would even claim that threads are usually a wart with additional
complexity and fragility bolted onto an existing bloater of a bad
design, to attempt to make it faster, invariably at the expense of
stability.

If more speed is needed, make the part that's currently too slow
_simpler_, not _more_complex_.
