P_THREADED says more than P_SA for someone who's not intimate
with the code. I for one don't know what SA stands for, but
apparently it's some kind of threading model/implementation
if I can believe the comments. In that case I don't know what's
so wrong about P_THREADED.

So, why is P_SA better than P_THREADED?
