XML-RPC isn't close to marshal and cPickle in performance, though, so 
that statement is a bit misleading.

the really interesting thing here is a ready-made threading-style API, I 
think.  reimplementing queues, locks, and semaphores can be a reasonable 
amount of work; might as well use an existing implementation.
