Well, the problem here is deciding which thread to throw the request at.

If the threads are equally busy, you're ok.

If the threads aren't equally busy, then just doing a round robin or
hash may end up keeping one thread more busy than others, skewing the
workload.

I'm also interested in the whole CPU pinning of sockets to line it all
up with multi-queue network cards and such. Hence why I'm starting
down this path.
