One option:

Get rid of most if not all the threads. Rewrite it with a callback-

performance event polling mechanism a particular OS supports (kqueue
on BSDs (Including OS X), epoll on linux 2.6, /dev/poll on Solaris,
poll, and as a last resort, select).

That's a good idea. But you still need threads to block on disk I/O
and to handle extraordinary conditions like errors where the code may
need to fault in.
