Can spamd be made to be multi-threaded all the way through?

Even if spamd is process forking and not spawning worker threads, is it 
possible with the latest production versions of Perl and SA to make it 
muli-threaded all the way through?

When I say "all the way through", I'm wanting to know if, even in a 
threaded implementation, would mutex/semaphore/etc. locks across all 
threads have to be employed at some point?  If locks are required, can 
you give me pointers as to where please?

I hope this question is clear.

Thanks!

Joe
