Yes. 

Actually the performance of Pth applications is really good for all
kinds of I/O bounded servers.  Obviously it does only use one CPU while
not in kernel model.  That is in many cases not a problem as there is
not much computation to do.  For RSA and other crypto computations this
might be different but there is also a tradeoff between distributing
such task between CPUs and the advantages of cache locality.
