Multithreading (was 'more good iseries news')

Rick,

A standard, single-threaded program will not take advantage of more than
one processor.  This would include the standard RPG/COBOL interactive
and batch programs found in most older systems.  Multi-threaded
applications should be able to take advantage of multiple processors,
although I'm a little over my head here as to specifics.  I don't know
whether the HTTP server supports multiple threads.

I would welcome additional comment here.

Best regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
