The backend isn't thread-safe.  There have been repeated discussions
about using threading in the backend (see the pgsql-hackers archives),
but so far no one has made a convincing case for it.

BTW, this whole discussion is getting pretty off-topic for -general;
I'd suggest pursuing it on -hackers.
