Forking Python server.
The python threading model does not provide concurrency for CPU-bound
processes. Process forking is the current recommended way of writing
scalable Python servers.
Harry Wang ran the [elided] backend with this change for 3 days and observed
no errors. The threaded backend caused unexplained lockups under this load
after 24 hours.
I also ran a CPU-bound load test against this server with 32 concurrent
clients. It completed 5X faster than the threaded implementation.
