There is no effective way to turn "process the frames on this
connection" into a concurrent process.

Yes, there are many very slow networks around, just like there are
many devices with limited memory.  However even those slow networks
get consistently faster.  Just because GPRS is not 10GigE does not
mean mobile users won't get LTE upgrades.

Shelby, if you are interested in discussing parallel architectures and
high performance networking, we can talk off-list.  This is not
relevant to HyBi any longer.
