Unless you are explicitly using threads in your existing Python
scripts, don't worry about. I would not expect the performance to
degrade too much, if at all.

On some systems (e.g., Linux) you can run mod_python with a threaded
Python interpreter without a hitch. Unfortunately if you want to use
mod_python on FreeBSD you'll need to rebuild your Python distribution.
