The 'worker' MPM for Apache2 uses threads.  According to its
docs:  By using threads to serve requests, it is able to
serve a large number of requests with less system resources
than a process-based server. Yet it retains much of the
stability of a process-based server by keeping multiple
processes available, each with many threads.

Since it uses less resources, I would recommend that we use
that model under Cygwin.
