If I understood it correctly, every PostgreSQL connection has its own
process and for every such process one separate JVM is started.
This model ensures that different connections never end up in the 
same JVM. Inside one connection queries are always executed one after
another. Therefore the JVM can internally do what ever it likes, even 
multithreaded.
