No, because the system was explicitly designed to be single threaded, 
using an event loop - rather than threads - for concurrency.  (Please 
read the FAQ entry regarding threads.)

I suggest also using the "-Q" option to "openRTSP", to print out QOS 
statistics, including packet loss (which might be the cause of your 
video artifacts).
