Ruby is basically a single OS thread + green Ruby threads, right?

Such a design doesn't work with 0MQ, but it also doesn't scale to 
multiple cores.

One possible solution is to take your ruby threads and run them as 
separate processes. To communicate between them use 0MQ IPC transport.

Thoughts?
