Older SCO systems. Threads are supposed to appear in the
next release.

A single application running on the server system is faster
in classic mode. On a mono-processor, an application with
several dozen highly contentious clients is faster with
the single server. On a dual-processor, two clients that
don't interact much are better in classic mode. Server
mode is better in contention because of the shared cache.
