What do you mean by "some threading". I am particularly interested in the input modules (cameras),
pthread is used in [pix_film], [pix_image], [pix_movie], and also in the V4L, V4L2 and DV4L modules of [pix_video]. Pthreads may also be used implicitly by some other classes or modules that I don't know about.
If there were multithreading happening, would pd's loadmeter know about it? that is, let's say two cpu's are being used at 100%, but on separate threads, what would pd's loadmeter would show (100% or 200%)?
No idea. This depends on the times() function of POSIX, but I don't know how it works relatively to pthread. I don't know whether that is defined.
