On Unix, the main implication is parent and sons
processes runs into the same memory environment (in
MMY point of view), so no memory context switch is
need.
So in many points, all AmigaOS tasks are thread.

multi-threading means that the same code should be
shared b/w all instance of a program. It's like PURE
executables on AmigaOS.
