Umm.. 770 is uP, so heavy multithreading could just hurt performance
by introducing unnecessary context switching. I guess moving
synchronous I/O to a separate thread could be seen as latency
reduction via multithreading. But in general, if there is heavy
communication need between threads, use of a single thread and
non-blocking I/O would save context switches.
