I like this line:
Should You Abandon Threads?
* No: important for high-end servers (e.g. databases).
If you use the idiom whereby each thread solely takes its tasks
from a thread-safe work queue, you can have a clear separation of
responsibilities and minimal or preferably no shared-state between
threads. You get concurrency as a side effect of this simple hybrid
event-passing/thread scheme.
Thread madness lies in complex multi-layer mutexes and shared data.
