This is entirely my presumption, but I think if the OP were keenly
aware of the differences between thread and processes, it's pretty
likely he wouldn't have asked his question in the first place.

Also, I've written lots and lots of "use processes" code on multiple
platforms, and much of it has used some sort of shared memory
construct.  It's actually pretty common, especially in code bases with
a lot of history.  Not all the world is Apache.
