I work at one of those - and Seaside is in use for some administrative 
applications.  But not on the main public website.  The public website 
also doesn't use threads.  Threads produce wasteful CPU thrash with 
pointless context swtiching.  Instead, its a combination of load 
balancing, stateless sessions, and aggressive mutli-tier caching.  
What's your point?
