Not to meantion other bottle necks in the listener thread.

I'd really like to move to a system where the listener thread
was not responsible for the actual input/output.  The listener
would just manage the event loop and assign a worker thread
to any socket needing attention.

However, this requires a significant redesign which is likely
best deferred for a bit.  I rather Mark just implement some simple
pooling (at an existing thread_create() boundary) as a first step.
