Using ZServer, Zope will always run multi-threaded. In the olden days, before
ZServer, Zope ran single threaded through PCGI or a simple HTTP server that is
no longer bundled. 

You could still use Zope this way, that is, use it without ZServer, and have
PCGI go directly to Zope. This would indeed be single-threaded. But why would
you want to do that?
