[Orca-users] Threads

[Blair Zajac]

I don't think we need threads for this.  The main loop in Orca is  
single threaded, so when it goes to read from a data file, it'll use  
use the Compress::Bzip2 instance for that file.

Plus, we probably don't want as many threads as there are hosts being  
monitored, that would easily kill a box.

Regards,
Blair
