Processes vs Threads

The Oracle architecture is highly process centric, in that a typical
instance architecture utiises (at least on UNIX) seperate processes to
accomplish discrete tasks.
The lightweight process/thread execution model (ie Pthreads) where
therads execute within the address space of the parent process would seem
to offer scope for considerable parallelism. How if at all could this
model be used for a DBMS system such as Oracle ?
