You should probably add that without an mt VM the drivers either block
or poll. This is hardly ideal and not comparable to the "native"
PostgreS and MySQL drivers that use sockets and don't have these issues.

Indeed. But it seems that with our "mini-locks" or busy waiting in the image side is enough for the real existing users.
Nobody actually complained about this limitation.
In fact, in VW, by default, queries are blocking... they are *not* azync unless you explicitly tell it. This is because creating threads also take time and if most of the queries are fast, then it is even better the locking strategy.
