Hello Antony,

I'd like to have easily written, decently performing multi-threaded
daemon.

And the things in between here and there are quite hard to do, but still do=
able:

* native multithreading (my uneducated guess: copy on write / rw-sems on the
internals and mutex objects on the language level)
* PHP JIT (via LLVM or similar)

I do agree with the parent poster that it is a can of worms which can
easily shoot you in the foot ;) Some kind of php.ini or #pragma-alike
threading directive for the programmer to "unlock" it him/herself
would be really smart to be had.
