Concurrency isn't a panacea; it tends makes a server unstable in two
ways:

	1. Any shared data accesses can clash unless you put enough locks in.

	2. If you actually do get tons of simultaneous connections, then
	   you can run out of memory or other resources.

That said, Comanche allows limitted or unlimitted concurrency, depending
on which version you download.
