Yes, I use thread somehow like processes, but I like to be able to share
recources between them, more easily (cache, db, sockets etc.).

A process gives me a total copy of myself, where a thread only make a
new stack, but share data. I know I can transfere file (and socket)
handlers while using processes, but the thread model is much more
elegant.
