Please give us something more disciplined than (p)threads, which are
nothing but an invitation to make a mess of a concurrent program.
(This assumes that you have already introduced state; threads are fine
without mutable state.)  I'd prefer fork/join/pipe semantics like Unix
processes myself, since they are already known to distribute well over
multiple cores and multiple machines, but I can live with any reasonable
discipline.
