* for some uses, threading may provide a real performance benefit. However, we need to ensure that threading is always OPTIONAL, so that users can easily verify if potential problems are related to threading or not. Worker threads seem to be the easiest and safest way for doing that. | * for some uses, threading may provide a real performance benefit.

* excessive use of the property tree for storing all sort of state variables is a potential performance bottleneck, it is usually better to directly use Nasal data structures. In addition, it is much easier to make use of worker threads when all data is available in Nasal space, especially given that the property tree (and basically all Nasal extension functions) are not designed to be thread safe. | * excessive use of the property tree for storing all sort of state variables is a potential performance bottleneck, it is usually better to directly use Nasal data structures.
