[sword-devel] Performance tip: Multi-threaded update of remote sources

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Thanks Tobias!  This is a great example we should include someplace
under sword/examples/  If you want to build a standalone example, I am
happy to include it.  I think it would be greatly beneficial to others. 
If you don't have time, I will try to get around to adding one soon,
using your supplied link.
