[Qt-interest] TcpServer: fork or threads?

[Josinei Silva]

Thiago, Andrey,

I think this server will not have too many users, at least not at the same 
time. So, maybe scalability should not be a problem. Individual performance 
should be more important. But i'll read that papper, we'll never know about 
the future and if our guesses are right.

I'm trying to do it with threads.

Thanks a lot for your help.
