For web apps it is really important not to block a whole web app server 
while processing a single SQL request. What else? It can be another SQL 
request running in parallel, or just building some web pages from a 
cached data, etc etc. To repeat, threaded ODBC or something similar is 
really needed for Squeak to be used in web app world.
