note that bug 55163 is tracking the switch to processes. Theoretically processes should be better than threads, even on windows, because we won't be gated by the python global lock. However, it may be that running IPC in python under multiprocessing may just be too unstable to be reliable. I'd like to test this in the meantime to see how much of the issues on win are issues with the new code structure and messaging vs. the multiple processes issue.
