As opposed to doing lambda's for callbacks? I'm not sure of the context of what you're comparing callback passing style to.

The IOLoop is a singleton instance and you will run into contention issues and non-thread safe behaviors in use of the IOLoop and event processing.  

I'm not sure what threading buys you in an asynchronous event based model of processing but needless complexity.
