That's the correct timeperiod sure, but the problem is that the 'concurrency'
topic is far from being settled, there are so many ways to treat it: threading and
locks (don't compose), STM (still a research topic and not a complete solution: it
cannot handle side-effect), like in the Concur project active object waiting for
future events (the mapping of "future thread" to real thread doesn't seem obvious
to me to get good performances), CSP, etc.
