Is wine *always* mapping threads onto processes? (Was: Re: multiple instances . . . )

Is that the general way wine translates windows threads, mapping them
onto processes? Would that really be a good idea? Usually the argument
goes that designing an app in a multithreaded rather than multiprocess
fashion is better, more resource friendly, albeit harder to do (e.g.
because inter-thread communication is much easier to do than
inter-process communication).

In my particular case, if the application were to spawn a few more
threads, I would run out of physical memory pretty quick, with each
one of those threads/processes consuming 32 megs.
