Hmm, I just tried throwing a debugger after WoW - I counted 19 (!)
threads...

Now I wonder what they run in all of those things? I suspect a few of
them run addons, and there might also be one or two dedicated to
memory management (loading, storing and unloading textures and
models). The main one probably takes care of drawing the graphics, and
I guess you could also make one take care of sending and receiving
data over the network.
