Some would say all threading sucks. All approaches are either hard to get
a proper performance from or hard to get correct. At least the queue
approach perl promotes gets one of them right.

Also lets not forget that Perl at least supports preemptive threading.
Ruby doesn't at all and python has a giant interpreter lock, making it
useless for this kind of problem.
