Would you say that this method of using a separate process instead of
threads to do work also is possibly good for database operations?

I'm always reading 'beware of threads' ;) with respect to Twisted,
so using a very simple control protocol to manage a separate
dedicate database process might be better than
relying on the threading that 'adbapi' uses?

Any comments on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
