emacsclient doesn't make emacs multiuser. It just obviates the need to load
up emacs for every file to be edited, and eliminates load times. However,
on any decent OS the executable code of emacs is shared amongst all
invocations (is this true for executables that contain dumped bytecode?).
If the users constantly switch in and out of vi, such sharing cannot be
utilised.
