urlopen(), nntplib methods, and multi-threading?

[Robert Oschler]

When using the async methods like urlopen() and the methods in the nntplib
module, would multi-threading help to speed up parallel requests?  I could
see making a pool of worker threads to process several method calls in
parallel (e.g. - to multiple web pages on different sites, or multiple
newsgroups), to speed up site or forum scanning.

Is this premise valid?

thx
