You can handle more than one connection with one thread using select.
Depending on your actual system conditions, this may yield better
performance than using one thread for each connection.
(remember: linux threads are more like processes than real "lightweight"
 threads).

Escpecially having VERY MUCH connections, it is NOT a good idea to use
one thread per connection.
