Is it not worth simply making the library threadsafe by default?
There is basically no platform supported today that doesn't have
some form of thread abstraction, the overhead of mutex locking is

In our tests, the overhead of mutexing is not negligible. It slows
down the
database by about 8%. Nevertheless, we recognize that many people want
to run multiple threads (despite my heartfelt pleas to abstain from
that dreadful
practice) so we probably will make the prebuilt libraries threadsafe
on all
platforms.
