Also, a design where you have:
- worker threads that never block (because async)
- helper threads for event dispatching
allows you to match worker thread counts to CPU counts, and so keep
contention to a minimum.
Whereas simply multi-threading the KDC means that sometimes you may have
many threads on the run queues.
How big a deal this is depends on how much time will be spent blocking
on I/O while processing any one request.
