I have spoken to a few people lately about this and to be honest, the
opinion I get out of multi threading in php is basically "no one cares
doing it, no internals need it so badly that he'll implement it, and
find people to maintain it"

Opening this thread is a good idea I think, after this I'll gather all
ideas and comments and make a good post out of it.
