Well, processes would be a good start. I get the feeling that state
management et al would be a nightmare if you started passing threads
between nodes :) I know that it wouldn't be much better than, erm, a PC.
But hey, it'd mean multiple processes could run at least. Does that make
sense? I hope so :)
