Great: Then it should be easy for You to provide me :-)
a) a list of the external calls
b) a list of the external calls which uses locking in the moment (as far as I
know all external calls are already thread safe, otherwise we don't need the
MULTHREADED compiler switch) and could be a candidate for improvement, i.e.
remove the locks there and make the internal functions they call thread safe
instead.
c) tell me how I can test b) or tell me someone who want to test together with
me.

Then I'm willing to have a look at necessary code changes how I did it for the
rendering of pages :-)
