When you enable this use flag, and have not specified an MPM, the ebuild
will select worker as the default. Otherwise it is prefork.

Also, if you select a non-threaded MPM like prefork, you must compile
with -threads and for threaded MPMs like worker, you have to enable the
flag.

I don't see any other use of this flag in the ebuild's eclass but I'm
not really proficient in these.

Hope this helps,
