Sure we can do this BUT killing those threads will do more bad then good. But looking at your mail it seems you're the specialist....

Each check should be run in its own thread. Then if it fries it doesn't take down all of SA. Would also allow you to do more tests in parallel. If Woodstone isn't thinking in this direction then I'd be a bit afraid of commiting to use SA for much longer.
