unfortunately apache does this with seperate processes, not threads.

memory corruption and leaks aren't solved by offing threads, unfortunately.

the equivalent would be to start a bunch of single threaded zeo clients on
a machine, with a loadbalancer in front of them, and periodically off one.

the only decent loadbalancers I've seen, however, are pretty heavy weight,
flaky, limited in functionality, or some combination of all three.

also, the start time for a new ZEO client is non-trivial.
