What do you mean by "state" in this case?

If you want a separate copy of Modeller, you'd need to use processes 
rather than threads. But I don't know why you'd want to do that. 
Building a model from sequence is pretty fast so you'd probably lose 
more in startup overhead if you do that. Most likely the most expensive 
part is reading top_heav.lib and par.lib, so I would just do that once 
and then use the same environ object for every sequence.
