Is MapServer Thread-safe?

[Dan Little]

Adrian, 

I don't mean this suggestion to upset the faithful, but it sounds like you might need a transactional solution better served with MapGuide OS or GeoServer.

What does mean "many" for you?

WMS is ok, but I need C# API to create any gis application (e.g. with
adding/modyfing spatial features, with requested by bussiness client
webservice interface, etc). 
 
The problem is with scalability with using mapscript. Changing server
 from 1
processor architecture to 4 performance will increase performance but I
think that not much in really big workload.
