Hey,
This is usually done for two reasons:
1) 32-bit machines with PAE support for large RAM (12G+ system ram,
individual processes limited in size)
2) Utilizing multiple CPU's with single threaded mode.
These days either of these are pretty rare. If you have a huge box go
ahead and run memcached in threaded mode.
