Multiprocessors best benefit multiple backends.  And the current forked
model lends itself admirably to SMP.

And I say that even after using a multithreaded webserver (AOLserver)
for three and a half years.  Of course, AOLserver also sanely uses the
multi process PostgreSQL backends in a pooled fashion, but that's beside
the point.
