  This makes me think you'd be better off using multiple processes.  As a
bonus, they become easy to control.  Use either signals or IPC, or even
sockets (and take advantage of that cluster you can now convince your boss
you need).  No need to worry about stopping or pausing threads anymore, just
stopping or pausing processes, which is pretty straightforward.
