It's not about preventing anything. If you have a proposal for how to do 
multiple threads per image I will most definitely listen, and if it is a 
reasonable proposal (i.e., one that can be implemented with bounded 
resources) I will even try to find funding for it. However, until such a 
time that there is a proposal I will drop this pointless discussion 
since, simply put, there is nothing to discuss here. The only available 
path at this point is by using one native thread per image and 
consequently that's what's going to happen.
