It will not take notable more resources to run 100 different mysqld
servers than 100*X threads, where each users uses X connections.

This is a problem, because:
- The user may access many DB's in the same query
- He may not be connect to a DB when he executes a command
(for example executing 'show variables').
- Many of the current MySQL clients doesn't supply the database name
when connecting to MySQL; (We don't want to break old clients
without a very good reason).

Because MySQL allow queries across databases, things are not that easy.
What we could also do would be to add some shared memory segment for
global big caches used by MySQL.
This would make the overhead much smaller between running one MySQL
server with many users and one MySQL server per user....
