[Seaside] Concurrent requests from multiple sessions

[Bob Arning]

You've had some good answers so far. Here are some other ideas that 
might also help

- Can you split the single big DB2 request into several smaller ones and 
yield the processor between each to allow other Smalltalk processes a 
chance?
- Can you move the DB2 requests to a separate Smalltalk image? Image one 
connects to image two via socket and sends the request. While image two 
is building the answer, image one is simply waiting for data on a socket 
and that can happen concurrently with other processes in image one.

Cheers,
Bob
