Zope 1.x is single threaded.  Zope 2.0, which will be releases in alpha
later today is multi-threaded.  Note that extension modules that
have operations that take a long time (e.g. database interfaces)
need to take certain measures (releasing Python's global interpreter lock) 
to avoid blocking other threads.
