Sleeping is a not a bad thing cpu-wise and it certainly is not what I
meant by "parallelisable".

Yet you fail to explain why. I'm not against threads at all but they
hit me often enough to warn others from thinking they could heal the
world(tm).

Threads are often used in wrong places which is a sign of not
well-though design. If you're able to reasonable explain why you
think threads are benefitial and the explanation is waterproof then
you'll have my fullest support.
