Yes, exactly. It's a design trade-off; if a client is uploading slowly
(whether intentionally or maliciously) the process-per-client model of
Unicorn is /extremely/ inefficient and will easily be shut down
by slow clients.
If you want to be able to process uploads in a Rack application while
the client is uploading, you'd have to ensure your app is thread-safe
and use Rainbows! + ThreadSpawn/ThreadPool.
