Actually, you haven't mentioned the processing as part of what the threads do until now. I see your point though: if you split that part off, you might gain some performance, that would otherwise be hard to get at. I wonder though, if the performance is worth it in the tradeoff for the maintenance nightmare it is when you split out content processing between 10 different threads. I wouldn't personally touch it unless I had no other option, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, I don't think either of us will change point of view much at this point - so we should probably just give the mailing list a rest by now.
