Thats the intent of the design.  It should just be a drop-in replacement.

Note also the SynchrnoizedApplication class.  This contains a mutex that is
locked before every call to your Application's to*/from* functions, making
for a crude but thread-safe Application when used in the multi-threaded
case.  This way you don't need to worry about locking your own data
structures, though you probably gain zero performance over the
single-threaded case and could even lose some.
