Well under Linux, threads and processes are mostly equal.

There's probably not much different between 6 processes with
5 threads each or 30 processes, if they do the same work. It's
just that "ps" shows a few less processes.
That being said, AFAIK sendmail is not multithreaded. It wouldn't
be very useful anyway.
