And they multitask, too!  From _Demon Possession Handbook for Human
Service Workers_, at http://diskbooks.org/part1.html:

	10. Demonic Time-Sharing 
	
	Back in the days when Jesus walked the earth and evicted a
	legion [6,000] demons out of one man, the world population was
	a fraction of what it is today. In fact, population experts
	believe the number of people alive today exceeds all the
	people who have died since the dawn of creation. Let's assume
	that the number of demons is fixed and that number is the same
	today as it was when Adam and Eve walked in the Garden of
	Eden. This means that demons today have to cover more
	territory -- in terms of human beings -- than at any time in
	the history of the human race. One way demons can accomplish
	this feat is through what computer experts refer to as
	time-sharing. In the computer world, a large main-frame
	computer can be used by many people at the same time, without
	those users even knowing about the existence of each
	other. When telephone lines are used, people from all over the
	world can access the same computer simultaneously. The
	computer works with each user in turn and does so with such
	speed that each simultaneous user has the illusion of being
	the only person logged on at that time. The Internet uses a
	form of time-sharing. It may not be as fast as you would like,
	but it's time sharing.

	Demons may work the same way. Although they are not
	omnipresent in the same sense as God is everywhere at the same
	time, apparently they can move from point to point at very
	high speeds. Assuming that their minimum speed of travel is
	the speed of electricity, 186,000 miles per second, a single
	demon can trouble a large number of people in the course of a
	few minutes. This is like a computer is able to work with a
	large number of customers, through time-sharing.

I can well believe that demons are involved in threaded programming.
