The component (derived from TWSocketServer) is designed to run
socket IO in context of a single thread. That's possible since ICS
uses non-blocking winsock API. If you do not have to serve more than
around 100-200 clients on a multi-processor system all _pumping data 
concurrently at the same time_ the application won't benefit from
multiple socket threads.
Only if socket IO actually was a bottleneck it might make sense
to use a different thread design, something like around 100 
clients per thread, for example.
